Here is a sampling of some days at Grier. A thirty minute time when students may get extra-help from their teachers. Two classes of 42 minutes duration with a three minute break between classes. To fulfil the Grier School athletic requirement, each student must take a minimum of four hours of athletics each week. Most athletic classes last about 50 minutes with the exception of varsity sports practices which usually meet for at least 90 minutes a day.
Older students have the privilege of staying up a little longer.
The school is very quiet, as all students go to sleep. Grier's equestrian facilities include three outdoor riding rings, one indoor ring, a network of trails and a stable housing over thirty horses. Grier has seven marking periods throughout the course of the school year, with three falling before Christmas and four after Christmas. This means that on Wednesday and Thursday of that week the classes are extra-long. Grier does this in order to provide teachers with the opportunity to work on special projects or labs that take longer than the usual alotted time for class.
