I am the older brother (20) of a 14 year old girl who will be starting high school in the fall. Before then, we will be moving to Pennsylvania, likely Pottstown. We are Russian immigrants coming from Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, and all the other members of my family, including my sister, have only basic/intermediate English skills. My sister is an extremely gifted student, particularly in math and science, and attended prestigious schools back in Russia. However, her English is at a low intermediate level at best. There is no way that she will be able to understand normal coursework in English, much less advanced coursework. However, she is so intelligent that I do not want her to be held back by attending a less than great school. (I have heard that Pottstown's schools are mediocre, but we cannot afford a better community.) Are there any ESL programs or more challenging schools with ESL classes in the area?

I would look to find a 1 on 1 tutor. The Above link (look like the Y and the Community College in Pottstown), to work with her.

Also you might call the Local Library Pottstown Regional Public Library The librarians have other resources and/or people who might be able to help.
