ELD & World Languages

The World Languages Department is excited about the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. Chesapeake will be offering Spanish I-4 and AP Spanish Language and Culture. Returning to Chesapeake this school year will be Ms. Enseñat, teaching Spanish I and II, and Mr. Jay teaching Spanish I, IV and AP Spanish Language and Culture. We are excited to welcome Ms. Braxton who will be teaching Spanish I and III.

World Languages will be focusing this year on the Five C’s for Learning a Language: Communication, Culture, Connections, Comparisons, and Community. In addition to these, the Spanish and French classes will be concentrating on student performance as it relates to the following modes of communication: Interpretive, Interpersonal, Presentational Writing, and Presentational Speaking. 

The English Language Development (ELD) Department is dedicated to supporting multilingual learners in developing the academic English skills needed for success in all content areas. We provide targeted instruction tailored to each student's language proficiency level, while also fostering pride in students' cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Our team works collaboratively with teachers, families, and the community to ensure that every student has equitable access to education and the tools to thrive in school and beyond.  Returning to Chesapeake for the 2025-2026 school year will be Mrs. Lalia and Mrs. Mughal.
