FOR CHILDREN
Classification of Schools for Young Children (based on 2009)
Day Care Based on location, facilities and program, Duke Children’s Campus (located in Duke University), YMCA Day Care in Chapel Hill, Children's Campus in Chapel Hill and South Point Mall are top choices. Below is a specific introduction of Duke Children’s Campus based on some parents’ experience:
Physical exams and immunization certificates are very handy if prepared beforehand. There are forms provided by the Day Care online, so you can prepare these before your arrival in Durham. If you come without these forms prepared, you may have a tough time completing them in time, since it may be difficult to contact your local pediatrician and complete these forms via fax. Kindergarten Kindergartens in the US are usually operated by Elementary Schools. Kindergarten is part of the public education system and no additional educational fees are required. Elementary School Elementary School continues from 1st to 5th Grade. 6th grade is a part of junior high school. Duke University is located in Durham but is also close to Chapel Hill (a 20-minute drive). There are different opinions on the quality of education in Durham and Chapel Hill. Some Fuqua students prefer to send their children to Chapel Hill schools despite the distance from Duke. It’s best to talk to current parents of students in each school system before making a choice of where to send your child to school, and hence where to live. You can contact current partners at Fuqua to find a parent with children in each system. http://www.fuquapartners.org/user/contacts.aspx Most schools in Chapel Hill are similar to each other. Rashkis Elementary School is known for the high number of international students. The school organizes cultural events for different countries to help children better understand each other. The Lincoln Center at Chapel Hill determines which school you kid goes depending on the location of your residence. Registration is very simple. Visit the Lincoln Center with the necessary documents (passport, I-20 forms, proof of residence, immunization certificate, etc) and fill in a form there. It takes about one to two days to register, if school is already in session. If you register during the school summer vacation, at least one week before the school starts, the school will send you an informational pamphlet, and you can prepare accordingly. Lincoln Center 750 South Merritt Mill Road Chapel Hill, NC 27516 Monday – Friday 8am – 12noon and 1– 4:30pm FOR FAMILY
