FCPS has many new and renovated schools that serve immigrant populations.  Low class sizes etc.  County/FCPS classes plus faith based organizations offer English language instruction:

Those faith based organizations were the type of instruction in English that immigrants have used for over 100 years.

The birth of the Catholic parochial school system that parallels public districts.
