English as an Additional Language

This program is for students whose first language is not English. English language skills and academic proficiency are assessed in order to provide the student with individualized instruction. Instructional activities include a balance of speaking, listening, reading and writing, complemented by computer software programs.

How to register

To register at a school, contact our Registration Centre for Newcomers, at 306-659-7000. The centre is located at our main office in downtown Saskatoon at 420 22nd Street East.

At the registration centre, all students from one family are registered in one visit. Each child completes a language assessment to ensure their new school will be ready to provide the services they need. Families are provided with information on school locations and programming so they can determine which school(s) to register at. Student information and documentation is checked to ensure registration is completed smoothly.
