Building Stronger Pathways for English Learners — Together
Teranga Academy helps districts create whole-school English immersion programs that are standards-aligned and mastery-based, equipping English learners to thrive — academically, socially, and emotionally.
How It Works
1
Discovery & Design
We listen to your district's needs and co-create a customized plan.
2
Implementation & Coaching
On-the-ground support with embedded coaching and professional learning.
3
Sustained Growth
Access to proven curriculum, cultural resources, and a network of partner schools.
4
Independence
Districts gain the confidence and expertise to sustain the program long term.
Proven Results
In Bowling Green, KY, English learners made 2–4 grade level gains in a single year.
Across our sites, students achieve 287% growth in reading and 290% in math.
Educators report stronger collaboration, higher confidence supporting English learners, and improved family engagement.

National Recognition & Funding
Teranga Academy is supported by a U.S. Department of Education EIR Grant and sustained through district per-pupil funding alongside federal and state allocations for English learners. Districts do not incur additional costs — the program is designed to concentrate existing resources so they are used more effectively.
Cost Efficiency
By allocating staff, funds, and supports into a dedicated English immersion program, districts see stronger results without additional expense. In fact, Teranga often saves districts money in the long term: once students exit the program, they no longer require extensive English learner supports, freeing resources for other needs.
