  • What is ESOL?

    ESOL stands for English for Speakers of Other Languages. The ESOL program in Orange County Public Schools is designed to improve the language proficiency of students whose native language is not English. Students can access grade-level curriculum, qualified teachers, and all school services.

    How does my student qualify for ESOL?

    According to the Florida state rule 6A-6.0902, it starts with the home language survey when you enroll your student during registration. A parent/guardian answered “yes” to any of the three home language survey questions:

    1. Is a language other than English used in the home?
    2. Does the student have a first language other than English?
    3. Does the student most frequently speak a language other than English?

    Answering "Yes" to one or more of the home language survey questions will require your student to be screened for English language proficiency.

    Why do we at Freedom High School call your student ‘Emerging Bilinguals’?

    At Freedom High School, we view our students whose native language is not English as an asset to our school community. Your student comes with a culture, history, skills, and experiences that will enrich and strengthen our school environment and add value to the content they are learning in their classes.
