Orange, Massachusetts Tutoring Programs
Get started with SchoolTutoring Academy's tutoring programs for Orange, Massachusetts students.
Orange District and Curriculum
Orange Elementary School District contains two elementary schools: Fischer Hill (grades PK-2) and Dexter Park (3-6). Once students who reside in Orange reach seventh grade, they go on to attend middle and high school in the Ralph C. Mahar Regional School District. Both districts follow the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks which lays out the learning expectations that students need to meet each year in their academic subjects. Additionally, students in the district take part in learning activities that focus on developing 21st century skills, such as respect for diversity and effective communication.
We currently cover the following Orange-area school districts: Orange Elementary School District and Ralph C. Mahar Regional School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Orange District Curriculum
The elementary curriculum introduces the basics of reading, writing, mathematic problem-solving, science concepts and social studies. Students are expected to read stories as well as informational texts so that they understand the different purposes for what they read and write. In math, strategies for numerical operations are emphasized, as well as basic concepts in pattern recognition, shape recognition, and data and measurement. This lays the foundation for more in-depth study in these topics in middle and high school.
The high school offers several unique social studies elective courses, including Women’s Studies, Contemporary Social Problems, Cold War America, Other Voices (a multicultural course), and Intro to French and Canadian Culture. English elective courses include Shakespeare, Creative Arts Workshop, Children’s Literature, Business of Writing, and Short Stories and Content Area Strategies: Reading and Writing. Several of these classes suit students who have interest in various types of writing. In Children’s Literature, students have the opportunity to read aloud to young children in local libraries and other facilities.

Chalk Talk: High School Writing Classes
High school students who are very interested in writing may have some choices of courses that allow them to write more than they do in their regular English classes. High schools often offer creative writing, which gives students the opportunity to write any style and about whichever topic they choose. Another popular option is to write for the school newspaper, which typically involves a class and is not only an after-school activity. Journalism courses also help students learn about current events and the history behind them. Students write articles about school events, pop culture and trends, important teen issues, etc., as well as interview classmates and teachers. These and other courses will help prepare students to pursue journalism if this is their interest as well.
