Language Enrichment And Development Program
One of Trident Academy's many features is the Language Enrichment And Development (LEAD) program. All students are evaluated at the beginning of each academic year and assigned to a LEAD class that will address their individual needs. The Orton-Gillingham approach is used through language instruction and is reinforced in the classroom. LEAD teachers and classroom teachers work closely to provide the best program for each child.
