English Language Education
The Ayer Shirley Regional School District has a long history of supporting students and families from diverse backgrounds. We are committed to ensuring that students who are not proficient in English gain the mastery necessary to be successful in an academic environment while meeting state (GLc71A) and federal program requirements. We are a low-incidence district intent on providing quality Sheltered English Immersion programming for English Language Learners that consists of Sheltered subject matter instruction and English language instruction. Sheltered English Instruction services are available in all 4 schools.
