Warrick County School Corporation

The high school program is designed for students at least 16 years of age who have dropped out of high school or who are at risk of doing so. The student-directed and self-paced curriculum offers students the opportunity to take ownership of earning their high school diploma. Students are offered the opportunity to attend either a morning session or an afternoon session. Each session consists of two 90-minute classes. The low student/teacher ratio affords each student individualized instruction as needed.

Students can be referred by their high school, parents, judicial system, or through self-referral. An intake interview is conducted with parent and student (if under 18) to explain the program and to determine admission into the program.

The Warrick Education Center also offers Oasis, a program designed for middle school students who have been expelled from their home school. Oasis provides a three-hour session where students are provided instruction in mathematics, language arts, social studies, and science. In addition, students participate in a life skills program focusing on areas such as decision-making, conflict resolution, problem solving, and more.

Oasis has as its objective to help the students develop better habits of working within the rules and regulations of the school, to assist them in their academics, and to provide an educational environment that fosters positive self-esteem, offers positive reinforcement, and promotes the idea of self-discipline.

OASIS Program
Oasis serves as an alternative to expulsion for Warrick County School Corporation middle school students. Classes are offered in the core subject areas of mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies. 

Admission into the Oasis program requires an intake interview with the administrator of the Warrick Education Center. During the interview, the guidelines, policies, and expectations are explained in detail to the student and parent(s). An agreement will be signed by both the student and parent(s) indicating their commitment to being successful in the Oasis program. Failure to uphold that agreement may result in the student being removed from the Oasis program and referred back to the hearing officer for further determination of the student's educational placement.

Students are expected to maintain appropriate behavior, attendance, and work habits while in the Oasis program.
Oasis classes are held in the morning from 8:30am-1:00pm. Classes meet each day that the regular schools are in session.
Students will follow the curriculum of their regular school. The grades earned while attending Oasis will be averaged with the incoming grades from their regular school in order to determine a semester grade.
Once students complete Oasis program, the Oasis staff will assist them in making a successful transition to their regular school program. The Oasis counselor will work with the regular school's staff in coordinating the student's return.

The ATE program is designed to allow high school students whose behavior has resulted in their being removed from their home high school the opportunity to recover some of the credits they would have lost that semester. Students attend a three-hour session using the Compass computer-based curriculum. The ATE program has as its mission to provide students with the means by which they can stay current with their credits and remain on schedule to graduate.

The Warrick Education Center also offers a High School Equivalency test preparation program. Assessments using the TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) and TASC Readiness Test are administered to determine each student's academic competencies in the areas of science, language arts writing, social studies, language arts reading, and mathematics. An individualized student learning plan is then prescribed to prepare the student for passing the TASC test. Preparatory classes are offered either during the daytime classes or in the evening Adult Education program. Evening classes are offered at various sites throughout Warrick County.

High School Equivalency Program

The Warrick Education Center also provides High School Equivalency Program preparation classes on a self-paced individual study basis. Students will take a pre-test (TABE) to determine areas that need skill enhancement. Students work on those areas to prepare to successfully take the HiSET (formerly known as the GED).

Any student who is 16 years of age and not subject to compulsory attendance is eligible to take the tests.

There are 5 subject areas in the High School Equivalency Program tests: Writing Skills, Social Studies, Science, Literature, and Mathematics.
