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.

Elementary ML students receive ME Program services in their home school. ML students in the following middle schools receive their instruction in their home school: Ballenger Creek, Brunswick, Crestwood, Governor Thomas Johnson, Monocacy, West Frederick, and Walkersville Middle Schools. All other middle school ML students attend West Frederick Middle School. At the high school level, ML students at Frederick, Governor Thomas Johnson, Tuscarora, Urbana, and Walkersville High Schools receive ME Program services at their home school. All other high school ML students attend Frederick High School. Summer-school support is offered as the budget permits.
