Curriculum Guide

English Language Learners Program (ELL)

An education for international students at Blue Ridge School is about more than going to class. We give our international students the skills needed for college, familiarize them with American cultures, and help them gain firsthand knowledge from students from many countries around the world.

With the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains as our backdrop, our students learn to explore, communicate, question, and find their voice in our community. After four years at Blue Ridge, an international student will leave our picturesque campus aptly qualified for college and well prepared to be a good citizen, a diplomat for cultural understanding, and an advocate for peace across our globe.

The English Language Learners Program (ELL) at Blue Ridge School is designed for students of all English levels, from beginners to those honing their language skills before entering college. Classes include:
