SCHOOLS PARTICIPATING IN SCHOOL CHOICE

Choice Schools or Programs are specialized offerings typically showcasing a model around which all teaching and learning happens, such as a S.T.E.M., Dual Language, International Baccalaureate, or Montessori model. These can be neighborhood schools, schools without an attendance zone, or even a program within a school. Curious? Check out the participating schools below.

Seats are still available for the 2019-20 school year for select Choice Schools/Programs and grades!
