District 63 celebrates diversity! With more than 65 languages spoken in our schools, our students are part of a robust, multicultural population. The District's ELL/Bilingual Department is committed to meeting the unique needs of our students and their families, and to helping our English language learners succeed and thrive.

District schools offer a wide range of programs for qualifying English language learners from preschool through 8th grade -- and once 20 students in any District school speak a given language, our team of more than 60 ELL-certified teachers provide language support on-site. 

Please note that parents have the right to refuse English language or bilingual services. Notify the school if you do not wish your child to receive these services.
