Abstract	Project CHOICE was designed to offer Chinese-speaking students of limited English proficiency (LEP) the opportunity to study business, technical, and computer subjects at Seward Park, and Washington Irving High Schools; subsequently, Norman Thomas High School was substituted for the latter school. Students received instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL) and Native Language Arts (NLA). They received bilingual instruction in the content areas of mathematics, science, and social studies and were offered services that included academic and career counseling, college advisement and placement, and job placement. The project also offered extracurricular activities to the students, staff development activities to project and school staff, and parental involvement activities. Evaluation of project CHOICE showed that it met its objectives in ESL, NLA, content area courses, career education, attendance, staff development, and curriculum development. Quantitative data were not provided for one of its two parental involvement objectives, but a subjective assessment suggested that it was met. One recommendation was made: if funds permit, the project should add a guidance counselor to its staff or explore alternate means to support the position. (GLR)
