What is Evening School?

Evening school at Options Schools is a framework designed to offer students a supportive and empowering atmosphere where they have the freedom to work at their own pace. It serves as a flexible and accommodating educational path for students who seek a different approach to learning.

A Typical Evening School Schedule

Adrianna attends evening school four days a week for two hours a day from 3 PM to 5 PM. Adrianna’s evening school schedule showcases the advantages of a four-day school week, allowing her to spend only a few focused hours at school each day. Completing most school work and homework during these hours provides a balanced approach that accommodates her other commitments, such as her part-time job at Barry Bagels in the morning and extracurricular activities including competitive dance and volleyball.

“I feel like it’s less stressful because I’m not just going to school for 8 hours and then I have to work and do sports. It’s easier because it’s a little spread out.”

A Personalized Learning Environment

Adrianna started at Options Schools in February 2023 as a day student but quickly found that this bustling atmosphere wasn’t for her. After speaking with a teacher, Adrianna was introduced to the evening program. Adrianna’s journey as an evening school student resonates with many as she found solace in the smaller student-to-teacher ratio, quieter environment, and the ability to work independently. Evening school fosters a personalized learning experience that caters to each student’s unique needs and potential, nurturing their growth and success.

A Supportive Community

In the evening school setting, a variety of teachers are available on different days to ensure that students receive comprehensive assistance across various subjects. This environment cultivates a sense of community and connection among evening school students and staff, creating a supportive network that enhances the overall learning experience. Adrianna’s testimonial reflects the reduced stress of managing school, work, and extracurricular activities in a balanced manner.

Setting Future Goals

Adrianna’s future plans include attending J Everett Light Career Center as a graduation pathway through Options Schools for veterinary technician training during her junior and senior years. Beyond that, she aspires to pursue a career in social work by attending a two-year college post-graduation. Evening school at Options Schools serves as a stepping stone towards achieving these ambitious goals, providing students with a solid foundation for their future endeavors.
