The Academy ESL Program: English as a second language


More than 15 different indigenous languages and dialects are spoken by the students of The Achievement Academy Program in different states. The Achievement Academy embraces the rich diversity that defines the community we serve. Our English as a Second Language Program mission is to serve our growing population of students whose families hail from other countries.


The Achievement Academy offers resources to ensure that our ESL students are achieving at their highest levels possible which includes a commitment to hire qualified ESL teachers, and high quality materials to support their work.


Our goal is to reach out to our ESL parents to provide them with the support they need to ensure their children’s success. In addition, we engage in collaborative efforts with our many supportive community partners that assist in involving our parents in successful educational programs.


International families wishing to register children for the Achievement Academy can apply through our Academy ESL Representatives at each school. Our bilingual staff will be able to serve these families in the following ways:

• Welcome, register, and interview all incoming ESL students at each Academy school location.
• Administer English language assessment test in the areas of Reading, English Language Arts and Math
• Assign student to the appropriate school program based on services needed.
• Recommend appropriate grade level based on documentation of age and past educational history.
• Share community resources located in the communities in which the live.
