The ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) Program of the Floyd County Schools follows the guidelines of the Georgia Department of Education and uses the following guiding principles to implement the program.

The Floyd County English Speakers of Second Language (ESOL) Program for English Language Learners is designed around our school system philosophy that all children can learn.  It is our staffs' belief that the best ESOL program that can be offered:

• Is tailored to meet the special linguistic, academic, cultural and affective needs of the students.
• Provides the student the assistance and instruction necessary to allow them to progress through school at a rate similar to their native English speaking peers.
• Makes the best possible use of school system and community resources.
