Transitional
ESOL High Schools
Established 1991
The Transitional ESOL (English
for Speakers of Other Languages) High Schools provide
instruction for older international students (18-up)
who wish to earn their high school diploma.
Classes
are held
from 4:15 p.m.-9:45 p.m.
Mondays-Thursdays
and
from 4:15 p.m.-6:00 p.m.
on Fridays.
The Transitional
ESOL High Schools provide instruction at four sites:
Falls Church High School: 703-573-2064,
Robert E. Lee High School:
703-924-8469,
Annandale High School: 703-642-4943, and
South Lakes High School: 703-715-4703.
Transitional
ESOL High School students are highly motivated, hardworking self-starters. Many
have completed a full day of work before coming to
class, yet they arrive brimming with enthusiasm and
eager to study.
The
instructional program consists of the FCPS beginning
(VDOE LEP Level 1) ESOL curriculum, including Concepts Social Studies, Concepts Science
and Mathematics classes. Students
earn elective credits for graduation for all courses
except Algebra 1, which earns them a mathematics credit.
The Transitional ESOL
High Schools do not offer a diploma; however when
students attain the intermediate level of ESOL (VDOE LEP Level 2),
they may continue their studies at Pimmit Hills School,
Bryant Alternative High School, Mountain View School,
or Woodson Adult High School, earning their high
school diploma from one of these institutions.
These
schools are part of the Fairfax County Public Schools
system with accredited, fully qualified teachers. Many
adults who were not able to finish school in their
country of origin have found success at the Transitional
ESOL High Schools.
