Magnet School Information

What Are Magnet Schools?

Magnet Schools are public schools that students can choose to attend from any area. They have creative and unique themes that make them special. Each school offers programs that match its theme, encouraging students to do their best in school and in their community. Magnet Schools include exciting themes in all subjects, attracting students from different backgrounds who want a special learning experience.

What Does Magnet Education Offer?

In New York City, Magnet Schools get extra funding from the federal government. This helps them create exciting lessons, build partnerships, and involve families and communities. The funding provides resources for school trips, supplies, special programs, and teacher training, as well as workshops for parents. Magnet Schools offer challenging learning experiences that inspire students to succeed. They focus on project-based learning and connect lessons to real-life situations. Magnet Education also supports students' social, emotional, and mental well-being, helping them become lifelong learners and future leaders.
