Magnet school starts at elementary level for many
Ever wished you could find a school that focused on your favorite subjects? Where special programs and everyday classes gave you a special glimpse into a unique, exciting world? Where you could work with classmates and teachers on projects that interested all of you? With Duval County magnet schools, you can. Our schools are part of a nationally recognized and award-winning program designed to help kids learn of what they love.
Magnet schools are just like other Duval County Public Schools - with one big difference. Each school emphasizes a particular area of study, giving its students new insight and more opportunities to explore what interests them most. Love to paint and draw? A Visual and Performing Arts school may be the one for you. Get excited by health sciences? Choose a high school that can prepare you for a career in healthcare.
The best part about magnet schools: they're available to everyone. Just find your theme, choose your schools, and fill out your application. Everything you need to know is here: explore themes, check school locations, get the basics, even apply online.
"Magnet Programs educate students on whatever it is they would like to study, whether it is law, business, finance, science, etc. They give you a real insight on what to expect in the future. The schools educate you deeply, building an ingenious foundation within each individual student."
