Transitional ESOL High Schools
The Transitional ESOL High Schools (TEHS) provide instruction for older ESOL students (18-up) who wish to earn their high school diploma. Students are in Grades 9-11, depending on their prior educational background. Classes are held from 4:15 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and from 4:15 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Fridays. The Transitional ESOL High Schools provide instruction at four sites, sharing space at Falls Church High School, Robert E. Lee High School, Annandale High School and South Lakes High School. Students provide their own transportation to school.
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 VDOE Level 1 (Beginning) ESOL curriculum and Mathematics classes (FAST Math, Introduction to Algebra and Algebra 1). Students earn elective credits for graduation for all courses except Algebra 1, which earns them a content (Math) credit. The Transitional High Schools do not offer a diploma, however when students attain the intermediate level of VDOE 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 locations.
