Our Vision
In alignment with the Anchorage School District’s mission of Educating All Students for Success in Life, we envision a learning community where every English learner, including immigrant and refugee students, is empowered to reach their full potential: fluent in English, confident in their identity, and successful in rigorous academic settings. Through equitable access to high quality instruction, strong family and community partnerships, and responsive support systems, we strive for a future where language is not a barrier, but a bridge to opportunity, achievement, and belonging.

Our Mission
The mission of our English Language Learners Program is to ensure that all English learners attain English language proficiency and achieve high levels of academic success. We are committed to providing equitable access to rigorous instruction aligned with state academic standards, enabling every English learner to meet and exceed expectations.
We support and empower educators by equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and training needed to implement and sustain effective language instruction programs. Through a collaborative approach, we strive to build instructional capacity that prepares English learners to thrive in all-English academic environments.
