English Language Learners

In our English as a New Language (ENL) program teachers work with the students to build their speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills in English using supports in the students’ home language. The goal of the program is to support students as they become English proficient. There are two types of English as a New Language programs:

• Integrated ENL: Students receive core content area areas (English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and/or Mathematics) and English language development instruction including home language supports and appropriate ELL scaffolds.
• Stand-alone ENL: Students receive English language development instruction taught by a New York State certified ESOL teacher in order to acquire the English language needed for success in core content areas (English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and/or Mathematics).

     Help students explore their career interests so they can start to ward towards achieving them from 9th grade through career assessment and work-based learning experiences.  Resume writing workshops offered throughout the year along with interview preparation.

Social Worker

All ACA students have access to the services provided by the school's social workers.

They work closely with families, school counselors, psychologists, teachers, and administrators to ensure the safety and well-being of all students.

Social Workers are members of Crisis Teams and mental health service teams; they offer counseling individually, in small groups, and through classroom instruction.

At the secondary level, social workers also work closely with the guidance counselor and administrators to support students as they access the curriculum and work toward resolution of personal and interpersonal concern and plan for beyond high school
