The philosophy of the Cobb County School District ESOL/Foreign Language Programs is to develop articulate students who are:

  • Efficient learners
  • Effective communicators
  • Competitive members of a global society

ESOL Services - ESOL Web Site     En Español
Our ESOL Program is designed to help students attain their full social and academic potential within the American school culture. We are committed to developing our students’ communicative confidence and skills in the four main areas of language usage: listening, speaking, reading and writing. We support an optimal learning environment for all of our students as they become integral members of our community.

Foreign Languages - Foreign Language Web Site
The purpose of the Cobb County School District’s foreign language program is to encourage the appreciation of cultural values; to enable students to learn to communicate in another language; and to prepare them to successfully enter and compete in an increasingly global society.
