Assessment is ongoing and promotion into Transitional or age/grade appropriate courses is determined on an individual basis and also on course availability.

THE TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM

The Transitional Program at Churchill is a bridge between the ESL and English Departments. Transitional English classes combine the intensive study of language with regular English curriculum content. Each Transitional English class will consist of two blocks rather than the single block of regular English. One teacher will teach both blocks to provide continuity within the class. Transitional Junior classes focus on the Grades 8 and 9 curricula, while Transitional Senior classes focus on the Grade 10 curriculum. Most students remain in the Transitional Program for two years. Movement into regular English classes will be determined on an individual basis.
