English Language Learners (ELL)
ELL students may be required to take an English Language Proficiency Test upon
arrival to class in order to determine their language proficiency level. The focus of all
levels is to develop English communication skills, both oral and written. Besides the
English language component, Canadian Studies and Culture are also taught. Going to
the next level is dependent upon the student’s competency at mastering the language
requirements for advancement. Other courses will be included in a student’s timetable.
However, we aim to tailor each timetable to reflect the individual student’s situation.
International Students
International students are welcomed to Nelson Mandela High School to pursue credits in
