For students who are already learning English, English Language Learning  (ELL) Support is provided, reinforcing their learning with additional English support by our ELL specialist teachers. At RAS, we utilize a collaborative, co-teaching model, in which students acquire English language and subject-specific knowledge simultaneously. Across the school, we have dedicated, qualified ELL specialist teachers to co-plan and co-teach with class teachers. ELL teachers support classes with differentiation of content, product, and process of learning to reinforce and support student understanding. We believe that all teachers are language teachers and are equipped with research-based ELL strategies to promote optimal learning for each and every student. 

English Language Learning (ELL) specialist teacher support at Raffles American School is for children from 1st Grade to 10th Grade
