North Fork School
School Notes Overview:
Since 1996, The North Fork School has offered academically rigorous, integrated humanities and math programs to McCall-Donnelly students, who are dually-enrolled in the local public schools. Writing Workshop (4th-6th) students miss one hour of the school day; their writing course supplements the curriculum in their public school. Core program students (7th-9th) leave their schools for two hours per day. Two days per week, they have English, and two days are spent in History class. Art & Drama are integrated into their schedule throughout the year. This integrated humanities program supplants their work in those subjects at the public school. High School students supplant English, History, and Math courses with a North Fork School class in their block schedule. Because students come out of the public schools for only a small part of each day, the public schools receive full payment for each NFS student. The North Fork School programs reduce public class sizes, and the schools still receive their full allotment of tax dollars....
