Two Duval Schools Named 2009 Schools of Distinction
Ever wished you could find a school that focused on your favorite subjects? Where special programs and everyday classes gave you a special glimpse into a unique, exciting world? Where you could work with classmates and teachers on projects that interested all of you? With Duval County magnet schools, you can. Our schools are part of a nationally recognized and award-winning program designed to help kids learn of what they love.
Magnet schools are just like other Duval County Public Schools - with one big difference. Each school emphasizes a particular area of study, giving its students new insight and more opportunities to explore what interests them most. Love to paint and draw? A Visual and Performing Arts school may be the one for you. Get excited by health sciences? Choose a high school that can prepare you for a career in healthcare.
The best part about magnet schools: they're available to everyone. Just find your theme, choose your schools, and fill out your application. Everything you need to know is here: explore themes, check school locations, get the basics, even apply online.
