Language Support Program

FloCrit High School is a designated ELA-E school. This means the primary language of instruction is English and all of our teachers are trained to shelter instruction for Multilingual Learners. Additionally, we provide English Language Development classes for students in our Multilingual Learner Program.

“At FloCrit I was in an empowering environment where the people I was surrounded by encouraged me and assured me that I could accomplish the goals I had envisioned.”
