ESL students

We have a boy who just moved here from China, who is in the 10th grade.
He has limited or no English skills at the moment. The upper school head
is thinking about placing the boy in the MS for English class and moving
him up to grade 10 English over time, as his English improves throughout
the year. We haven't done this before and wonder what others do in these
situations. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Best,

Jim Eagen
