English is the language of instruction in the English section at Eastwood International School. The ESL Department aims to strengthen students' English language for those joining from non-English speaking backgrounds. All ESL services are pull-out services and are organized into four levels across two phases. Phase One provides full pull-out language and literacy development for 10 hours per week (6 hours English, 4 hours French). Phase Two provides partial pull-out services up to 6 hours per week. Upon admission, students are assessed and placed into one of the four levels and one of the two phases, with an exit process once ESL goals are met.
