Overview
Two types of bilingual programs are available in NYC public schools:
- Transitional Bilingual Education (TBE)
- Dual Language (DL)
These programs strengthen students’ home language development and content knowledge while they build their social and academic English skills.
We also provide English as a New Language (ENL) programs that use strategies for English language development with home language support. This helps students develop language and content knowledge in English. You can learn more about these ELL programs and services by reading these translated brochures:
