Newcomers is internationally recognized for the exceptional quality of teaching, learning, and support services for English Language Learners offered at the school. The outstanding educational program provides a pathway for newly arrived students to pursue their academic dreams. Recognizing that students initially face challenges when transitioning to a new educational, social, linguistic, and cultural setting, one essential component of the school is an orientation program that begins on the first day.
