The Deck House School’s Academic, Life, Community
Service, and Co-Curricular Programs provide
twelve teenage boys with an embedded supportive structure, which utilizes constructive
relationships, mentorships, apprenticeships, and internships within our community
network. Along with our own consistent gentle guidance, students may receive
therapeutic/medical services from outside healthcare providers with whom we
facilitate scheduling and transportation to/from appointments. Our talented
teachers lead tutorial, discussion-based, College and Career Preparatory and Advanced Placement (AP) Courses.
·
Our Academic Program offers students
opportunities to study College and Career Preparatory and Advanced Placement (AP) Courses with talented
teachers/tutors, who facilitate spirited classroom discussions. Classes are
rarely larger than three or four students and are often one on one. We
administer the College Board exams including the SAT I, SAT IIs, and APs on our
campus, helping to reduce students’ anxiety associated with standardized tests.
·
Our Life Program prioritizes
opportunities for students and staff to work together as a team, inventing and
documenting original recipes, planning and cooking meals, organizing tools and
cleaning supplies, developing craft through household chores, and accomplishing
work jobs.
·
Our Community Service Program develops
active citizenship by requiring students to volunteer their time to local,
worthwhile causes such as the Lincoln County Animal Shelter and The Morris Farm
Trust. Students practice organizational and time management skills in these
real life work environments.
·
The Deck House School’s Co-Curricular Program
encourages students to pursue meaningful learning experiences with adult
mentors, who include scientists, engineers, blacksmiths, boat-builders, chefs,
and/or artists. Personal projects, apprenticeships, and internships are life
changing and focusing opportunities for our students.
