Instruction
Warwick Valley Central School District staff work together to foster an educational program that is challenging and meaningful for students. The district recognizes that all students do not learn in the same way.
Staff are encouraged to be lifelong learners and to always remain cognizant of each child’s individual learning style. The district offers an extensive in-service and professional development program, which includes a formal mentoring/internship program. Teachers and administrators employ a variety of instructional strategies and practices to implement the educational program. When visiting a classroom, a parent may see various strategies and practices at work, such as team teaching, peer tutoring and differentiated instruction.
Elementary School
The New York State Standards-based curriculum is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure its focus on basic academic skills, with emphasis on problem-solving, critical thinking and good study habits.
Elementary students receive regular instruction in art, music, physical education, health and library/research skills. In addition, youngsters may choose to participate in a variety of clubs and extracurricular activities.
Warwick’s elementary schools consistently exceed similar Orange County school districts on the New York State Assessments.
Our K-12 music program is highly recognized at both the county and state levels, with instruction in band and strings beginning in grade 4.
