INDIANAPOLIS -- A school on Indy's west side is helping 130 immigrant and refugee students prepare to enter a classroom, many of them for the first time.
The biggest challenge for students in IPS' Newcomer Program is learning English. They speak 14 different languages and are from a number of different countries.
One out of every six students is a refugee.
The one-year Newcomer Program serves students in grades three through nine.
The goal of the program is for students to transfer to their own neighborhood school and successfully participate in classes.
