Frequently Asked QuestionsAt Young World Day School, there are a number of questions we consistently receive from parents who are considering our school for their children. Here are a few of those questions, along with answers we hope will help you in your decision-making process.
What are Young World Day School’s hours?For our Traditional and Montessori Pre-School programs: For our Primary School (Grades 1 through 5): We also offer two Extended Care sessions each day: What is the average class size?Our class size, throughout the school, averages nine students to one classroom teacher. Additional staff,
such as music and French teachers, make this 9:1 ratio even lower. Classroom sizes range from a small Kindergarten
of 12 students with a teacher and an assistant to a multi-aged third through fifth grade class with 22 students
and 2.5 classroom teachers. How many adults are in each class?We assign a teacher and an assistant to each Pre-School and Kindergarten class and at least two certified teachers
to each of the Montessori and older classes. May I review your curriculum?We’d be delighted to review our curriculum with you. Please call our office at 201-327-3888 during school hours to
arrange an appointment to do so. If my child is in the same classroom for more than one year, will (s)he simply learn the same things over and over again?No. In the multi-graded classrooms of the Primary School, we have a rotating curriculum, where the children stay put,
but the curriculum changes. One big advantage to having children with the same teachers for two or three years is that
the teachers know each child’s learning style. Does my child need to bring lunch, or does the school supply it?The school provides cold milk or juice to accompany bagged lunches brought from home. Several times a week, at an additional
cost, the Parent Teacher Group arranges to have a simple lunch provided for those who wish to have it. What is the procedure for dropping-off and picking-up my child at school?In the morning, cars form a double line down the school driveway. School staff members are there to greet children and take them from their cars 15 minutes before class begins. If a child arrives after the school doors are closed, the parent or caregiver is expected to park the car and walk the child to the classroom. Rember to park in a spot or along the island side, one lane must always remain open. At dismissal time, cars again form a double line in the school driveway. Parents or caregivers display the child’s name
in a prominent place, and children are escorted to the cars by the school staff. Is bus service available to take my child to and from school?Private transportation is not available. How much emphasis does Young World Day School place on Art and Music?We believe that an appreciation of the finest aspects of our culture is essential to a well-rounded education. As a result,
we emphasize art and music through classes dedicated to those subjects — as well as through lessons taught in the rest of our curriculum. Do you teach character education?Character education is an integral part of our school curriculum and daily life. It is taught and modeled by the staff and
practiced by our students. |
