WCPS Elementary Magnet Programs are highly-competitive programs for identified gifted and talented (GATE) students.
Magnet Programs provide accelerated and enriched classes for academically gifted students.
Our four elementary magnet schools offer highly challenging and fast-paced curricula on a full-time basis for advanced learners in grades 2-5.
Each magnet program features a specialized theme which offers opportunities for in-depth study, projects, and enriching activities designed to meet the ability levels and unique learning needs of highly gifted students.
Eligible students will be invited to apply in first grade.
Participation may require transportation and enrollment in a different building.
