English Language Learners and International Support Preparatory Academy
ELLIS serves a linguistically and culturally diverse population from across the Bronx and northern Manhattan, nearly all coming to ELLIS within weeks or months of first setting foot on U.S. soil. Our students come from over 20 countries and speak more than 10 different languages. English is the second or the third or fourth language of every ELLIS student. Students have a wide array of prior educational experiences, ranging from 0 to 12 years of formal schooling.
