Newcomer Program

Newcomer Programs provide specialized instruction to beginning-level English Learners who have recently arrived in the U.S. In addition to academic language support, the Newcomer Program serves to familiarize Newcomers with U. S. cultural and educational systems. 

The AASD currently has six schools with Newcomer Programs. These programs provide specialized instruction to beginning-level English Learners who have recently arrived in the U.S.

As our Newcomer Program continues to grow, we have expanded our staff to meet the growing needs of our Newcomer population.
