With the arrival of nearly 4,000 new students from immigrant families, Denver Public Schools (DPS) is experiencing an increased demand for English as a Second Language (ESL) classes among adults. Many of these adults, like Gino Contreras and his family from Venezuela, have come to the U.S. seeking asylum and opportunities for a better life. The growing number of migrant families settling in Denver has led to over 650 adults enrolling in ESL classes, prompting DPS to add additional classes for newcomers. ESL teacher Michael Ard highlights the eagerness and motivation of these students to engage and improve their English language skills, which are essential for their success and integration into their new community.
