The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme strives to help students develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills necessary to participate actively and responsibly in a changing world. Students are exposed to a rigorous academic curriculum that focuses on an intensive study of core subjects through five areas of interaction: Approaches to Learning, Community and Service, Human Ingenuity, Environments and Health and Social Education. Classes are presented in ways that allow students to see how they are connected to each other and the world.
Utilization of Magnet Schools
The school district strives to have the utilization of all schools between 85% and 105% of their current capacity. The 2011-2012 Utilization of each magnet school helps determine the number of new magnet openings a school may offer for the 2012-2013 magnet lottery.
