Newcomer Program
The Lakeside School Program meets the needs of newcomers with an array of components that specifically and effectively help newly-arrived and preliterate students....
  • Quickly develop a set of "survival" English language skills and vocabulary to allow the newcomers to meet the simple, everyday requirements of their new environment
  • Begin reading and writing in English to build the literacy skills essential to academic success
  • Build self-esteem and confidence to help students feel "at home" more quickly
Students follow Carlos, a student navigating through his first day at a new school, as he meets new situations and new people. In the course of following Carlos through his new experiences, students learn the basic language skills they will need to succeed in their new experiences.
