The mission of Owings Mills High School ESOL Program
is to assist non-native speakers of English in acquiring sufficient language
proficiency and independent learning strategies to become successful
participants in high school and beyond.
The ESOL program will serve as a support system for the ELL until he/she
is able to achieve independent academic success. This education will be
provided in such a way that values each student’s home language and ensures
that each student maintains a sense of pride in his/her native culture.
The ESOL Program is committed to sustaining
instructional excellence through collaborative professional support, continuous
monitoring of ESOL Program curricula and student services, and integration of
appropriate educational technology into learning and instruction.
