Our Program
Village School students earn a New York State Regents Diploma. Twenty-two credits, distributed according to New York State requirements and Great Neck standards, are required for graduation. All of the courses offered at Village School are ungraded; instead, credits are earned for successful completion of courses. This is accomplished through regular attendance, reasonable homework record, satisfactory participation in class work and projects.
This authentic assessment culminates with The Credit Board. These credit-granting panels consist of teachers and students. Every student in the school appears before the Credit Board at the end of each semester to formally apply for credit for his/her work. The Credit Board reviews the student’s self-evaluations, teachers’ evaluations, attendance and homework records and any additional evidence of progress the student presents.
Support and feedback are provided six times a year at Support Group Meetings. At these meetings, the parent, student, and teacher/advisor discuss progress and set goals. Information is provided through written evaluations by each of the student’s teachers. It’s hard to fall through the cracks at Village School.
