Forest Ridge welcomes students from around the world to immerse themselves in speaking, reading, writing and learning in English. Our English Language Learners (ELL) program provides support during the student’s transition into our English-taught curriculum.
Language support builds her confidence inside and outside the classroom
By supporting her growth in language skills, she feels more confident to engage with new friends and community. Our ELL program helps her to grow in both interpersonal communication skills and academic success.
Placement in our ELL program is determined by the school administration. Many considerations go into determining the level of support each student needs, including teacher recommendations, previous coursework, SSAT® and TOEFL® scores.
Forest Ridge has a cohesive four-year plan for our ELL, upper school students to prepare for TOEFL testing. Additionally, all Forest Ridge students get practice with the PSAT®, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, a precursor to the SAT.
We invite your family to join us for our Open House on Tuesday, October 10 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. to learn about our rigorous and dynamic academic program and supportive, caring community of girls in grades 5 through 12.
