Education
MPS offers several bilingual and English as a Second Language (ESL) and
Immersion programs all aimed at preparing students for today's global
economy while encouraging cultural pride and tolerance.
ESL- English as a Second Language
children are given help in learning the content areas in English,
however help may or may not be given in their first language. The ESL
classroom differs from a bilingual classroom in several ways. There is
