A Message from the Superintendent
Aligned to our Destination 2026 strategic plan, Mariemont City Schools believes that student learning will be enhanced through diverse curricular options and enriching experiences that drive deeper understanding and skill development and support global competency.
This is why I am so proud of our award-winning Warriors BEyond program. This K-12 initiative allows students of Mariemont City Schools the opportunity for experiential learning beyond the traditional classroom. It seeks to foster passion and interest exploration through hands-on experiences.
The core of the Warriors BEyond program begins in elementary school with Explorations, continues through junior high with Expeditions and caps off at the high school level with Intersession.
Elementary Explorations provide our fifth and sixth grade learners an impactful opportunity for interest-based, experiential learning. These student-selected courses are designed to grow curiosity, discover new skillsets and expand passion exploration. Our goal for Explorations is to foster a love of learning which will grow with the students through their time in Mariemont City Schools.
I hope each elementary school family discovers the magic of Explorations and the Warriors BEyond program. Enjoy these course offerings and happy Exploring!
Steven Estepp, Superintendent Mariemont City Schools
