English as a New Language Program

What: In 2006 the Alliance for Catholic Education at the University of Notre Dame began a new academic program that instructs Catholic School teachers how to teach English to students whose primary language is not English; Teacher’s of English as a New Language Program (ENL). The ENL program is a one year certification program in which a previously licensed Catholic School teacher receives an additional license from the State of Indiana as a teacher of English as a new language.

When: The ENL program begins in the summer with two weeks of courses from the middle to the end of July. After these two weeks, participants in the program must complete 6 credit hours online for both the fall and the spring semesters. The cost of the entire year is $9500 which includes room and board for the two weeks the participant is on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. There are many scholarships available to those who qualify.
