Fine and Performing Arts Magnet Cluster Program

A magnet cluster school is a specialized neighborhood school – it has a neighborhood attendance boundary and accepts students who live within that boundary. Magnet cluster schools also focus their curriculum on one of six subject areas: fine and performing arts, literature and writing, math and science, world language, International Baccalaureate Primary or Middle Years, or technology. Students who live outside of the neighborhood attendance boundary must submit an application in order to be considered for acceptance. A student may apply to any school in any cluster. Transportation is not provided to incoming students.
