Welcome to Multilingual Education Services
At Marion County Public Schools, our dedicated teachers and ML/ESOL Paraprofessionals work tirelessly to support our Multilingual Learners (MLs) through a comprehensive educational program that fosters English language proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
The Multilingual Education Department is committed to equipping teachers with the tools and strategies they need to enhance English language development and deepen content understanding for MLs. Our goal is to ensure that every ML not only achieves English language proficiency but also meets the educational goals set forth by Marion County Public Schools.
