Beck International Academy is a Select School that focuses on International Relations and Public Service.

Beck International Academy is located in Greenville, South Carolina, and serves approximately 850 students. Our mission is to meet the academic needs of our culturally diverse student body in a safe environment that nurtures, accepts, and encourages all students to be productive and active citizens of the global community, lifelong learners, and future leaders.

Magnet programs permit specialized courses of study and exposure to program focus areas as part of attendance. All students enrolling as magnet students at Beck will take Spanish each year and are also expected to meet community service hours goals each quarter as a condition of program participation.

Applying as a Magnet Student:

Students who do not live in our attendance zone but wish to attend Beck International Academy as a magnet student should apply.

Applications for all GCS magnet programs for the 2026-2027 school year will open November 10, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. Applications will be available through your Parent Backpack Portal. Please visit the "How to Apply" tab for more information.  

Information about GCS district middle school magnet programs is available HERE. Please consider applying during Round 1 as slots are limited and often fill quickly. 

*Note: You are only permitted to make one application to Select Schools Programs (including Magnet) during each application year. Be sure to apply to ALL programs of interest at the time of application since you will not be able to amend your application or apply to others later in the year.
