Lisa Grimsley and class
ELI instructor Lisa Grimsley with her 3rd and 4th grade students at Brookside Elementary School.

For the 16th year, the Institute has effectively managed an elementary ESL program for the Christina School District. Presently, the program serves grades one through six at two different locations.

Teacher Sarah Petersen joined Lisa Grimsley this fall at Brookside Elementary School in Newark, where the pair enjoy interacting with energetic learners in grades 1 through 4. Assistant Professor Jo Gielow is also new to the Elbert-Palmer language program for intermediate school students in Wilmington, where she currently instructs grades 4 through 6.

Approximately 60 children are enrolled in the program. Countries represented include Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Egypt, Guinea, Haiti, India, Kenya, Korea, Liberia, Morocco, Norway, Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, Vietnam and Yugoslavia.The opportunity to connect with so many international students and public schools in the greater community has been rewarding for all involved.
