Q: What’s the difference between a Magnet School and a Magnet Program?

A: A magnet school provides a specialized learning environment for students who have strengths and interests in a particular discipline or career. Students follow an individualized curriculum that prepares them for a career or postsecondary options while giving them hands-on learning opportunities in subjects that attract and engage their interests.

Magnet programs operate just like magnet schools, but are specialized programs within a school. Only students who elect to enroll in the magnet component are immersed in the program. Students are accepted to most TPS magnet programs based upon specific criteria.
