English Language Learners

 
Here at Bonita Unified School District, we celebrate the diverse backgrounds and languages of our students!
There are over 500 students in the Bonita Unified School District, representing over 22 languages, who are English Learners. English learners are students whose first language is not English. 
 
We are committed to supporting English learners at every stage of their educational journey and ensuring they have access to every resource possible to be successful. Together–parents, educators, and staff–can help our English learners build their language skills while embracing their unique cultural identities. Through engaging programs and collaborative learning environments, we empower our English learners to thrive academically and socially. Join us as we create a vibrant community where every student can succeed!
