Multilingual Education Program

The Multilingual Education Program promotes successful integration in mainstream academic programs for Multilingual (ML) students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 whose first, or primary, language is not English and who have not yet attained English language proficiency. As part of the enrollment process, ML students new to Frederick County are assessed for English language proficiency to determine if they qualify for ME Program services.

The ME Program recognizes the vital importance of parental involvement and provides interpreters for parent conferences as well as many translated documents.

All ML students are able to receive ME Program services in their home school during the school day. Summer-school support is offered as the budget permits.

For student enrollment information, please see our Enrollment page.
