Students enrolled in the PLP at Escondido Christian School benefit from a specialized resource program designed to support their individual needs, whether they are experiencing learning gaps or academic challenges. PLP provides one-on-one and small group instruction to help address these gaps and rebuild student confidence. The ultimate goal of the program is to equip students for successful mainstream integration into the classroom.

We often have children who come to ECS who need additional help beyond the traditional classroom.  To be placed in a PLP class, students are recommended by their teachers, or are identified through administrative review.  Based on these recommendations, the student, with the consent of the parent, is referred to the principal and/or counselor and placed in the appropriate PLP class. 

PLP is intended to meet the needs of all grade levels in the school, therefore the frequency and type of test used will vary. The assessments provide a measure of progress, but the evaluations of the instructors, who are working with the students, as well as the input from the classroom teacher, are valuable tools for measuring a student’s growth.

Your child will be assessed and monitored for progress throughout each quarter. As soon as your child has shown that he/she possesses the skills needed to flourish in a larger classroom setting, he/she will be encouraged to return the classroom to receive instruction.
