How is a student placed in classes in the IES Program?
Prior to starting at HPA, a student is placed in one or more English as a Second Language (ESL) classes based on English language test scores, teacher comments, a writing sample, and an interview. Once at HPA, a student is placed in ESL classes each term based on a Secondary Level English Proficiency (SLEP) test, grades in ESL classes, grades in subject area classes, and teacher comments.
