English as a Second Language

At Ganado High School, we embrace the Navajo language and culture, but we also recognize the need for our students to learn the English language. Our ESL program gives students the support, encouragement, and materials necessary to fill in the language gaps so that they may succeed in high school and beyond.

We assess students regularly to determine their individual needs. Depending on the results, students may receive services such as:

• Individual or group assistance within the traditional classroom
• Specialized tutoring
• Pull-out instruction during class
