Fruitland has schools that even the largest, wealthiest metropolitan areas would envy because they are small, safe and effective. Fruitland Primary and Fruitland Intermediate are within the city limits. Students continue at high schools in Wicomico County which are minutes away.
All classrooms have computers and are further enhanced by a computer lab so students are computer literate when they reach high school. This initiative is designed to make Fruitland students as technologically advanced as possible as early as possible. In the next year the schools will connect to the Internet, building upon an already strong technological base.
Accelerated programs are offered for all grades and academic excellence is a primary goal of this small, industrious community. Staff are aided in attaining this lofty goal through extremely strong parental and community support. The community understands and accepts its responsibility and is rewarded with highly-regarded schools and a low teacher turnover.
Upon graduation from the Fruitland schools, students continue at one of the three Wicomico County High Schools. They offer challenging academic programs along with practical, hands-on technical courses including computer networking and data processing. Wicomico County High Schools are also Connected for Learning, part of a Maryland initiative for bringing internet connectivity and the latest computer technology to all Maryland K-12 public schools.
Many Fruitland students pursue higher education and have excellent choices nearby: two University of Maryland campuses, Salisbury State University and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore as well as Wor-Wic Community College. All are within a five to twenty minute drive.
Salisbury University has 30 undergraduate and 7 graduate degrees including Business Administration, Accounting, Management Information Systems and Mathematics. SU is currently developing an Engineering degree program which will further develop the technical workforce of the Eastern Shore.
The University of Maryland Eastern Shore offers 22 undergraduate, eight master's and two doctoral degrees. Areas of study include Computer Science, Toxicology, Engineering Technology, Business Administration and Construction Management Technology.
Wor-Wic Community College offers AA degrees in a variety of disciplines including Computer Technology, Electronic Engineering Technology, Accounting and Business Management. The College has created a unique partnership with local businesses to develop an Advanced Technology Center. Local business and industry leaders offer advice about education and job skills needed in the community. Courses are designed to ensure a perfect fit for students and employers.
