ESL Program
The Trinity Christian Academy ESL (English as a Second Language) program is designed to assist the student who is enrolled in the school whose native language is not English and whose skills are diagnosed from Limited English Proficiency (LEP) through eighth grade.
The program provides direct classroom instruction in required content areas using an English immersion approach with LEP methodologies and communication tools. The ESL students are in separate English, Reading and American History classes for the first year. All other standard classes are carefully monitored by Mrs. Sandra Lindstam, ESL Director, who works directly with the teachers and students to ensure an effective learning process. Extra time is spent with students who struggle with a particular subject. Grades are monitored frequently.
Trinity Christian Academy is accredited with:
- The Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (FACCS)
- The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools – Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS-CASI)
- The International Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (IACCS)
All teachers are certified through FACCS. For more information regarding TCA's ESL program please contact Sandra Lindstam, ESL Director, at slindstam@tbc.org.
