    English Language Learner Department Philosophy
    The mission of the English Language Learner Program in the Milford Public Schools is to provide instruction to English Language Learner (ELL) students, designed specifically to incorporate academic language within the four language domains (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) in conjunction with subject matter content.  This content-based English Language Development (ELD) program combination will enable ELL students to become successful individuals in the mainstream classroom, overall school environment, and community at large.
