Custom Tailored Scheduling Read more
Along with a personlized learning plan that is entirely unique to each student, Warriner Middle School offers families scheduling options that are unique as well. We work with you to arrange a schedule that will best allow for your child to be successful in his or her education!
-
Full Day Schedule Read more
Our full day schedule allows students to take part in an innovative and effective educational model in a more traditional classroom setting. Students will learn in a teacher-led atmosphere where small class sizes and differentiated instruction allow all students to reach their potential. Approximately 85% of our students take part in the full-day learning option that is very similar to a "traditional" school day. The Warriner Middle School difference is our belief that a small school environment that emphasizes collaboration and respect for all students allows students to master rigorous curriculum free of distraction.
-
Half Day Schedule Read more
Students attend for a half-day option, which allows for hands-on learning with peers, while online work and individualized reading can be done at home. Parents, student and advisor work as a team to create a schedule that will maximize student learning in a format that is comfortable for all.
-
Online Schedule Read more
Students taking part in the online schedule meet with their advisor on a weekly basis to ensure academic success. Students attend on an as-needed basis if extra help/guidance is required throughout the year. Our study area is always staffed by a highly qualified teacher, so help is always available during school hours!
