English Language Learners (SPELL)

The mission of the St. Paul English Language Learner (SPELL) Program is to foster English language development so students can engage in the critical thinking skills necessary to excel at St. Paul American School Hanoi. 

We design our ESL classes under the program SPELL. Several class levels provide quality, individualized instruction to help each student grow their English skills and more. The instruction advocates intercultural understanding and self-awareness to educate English learners for academic and social purposes.

Expert teachers are committed to supporting students’ English language journey and collaborating with parents to ensure seamless integration of language learning across the curriculum.
