Because the "one size-fits-all" philosophy doesn't apply to education, Guilford County Schools offers many magnet and choice school options. Guilford County Magnet and Choice Schools are currently accepting applications for the 2011-2012 academic year. Open enrollment will be held until March 18.
There are forty-five magnet schools in Guilford County with seventeen different magnet themes. Some schools specifically serve our advanced learners, others offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma program. Other schools focus on science, technology and the performing and visual arts, while others offer foreign language immersion. Guilford County is also one of the few places in the country where you can get a free Montessori education for your student.
The magnet schools are free to county residents but there is an application and interview process. During the open enrollment period, there will be many opportunities to learn about the various programs and schools. Applications will be available online during the open enrollment period at the Guilford County Magnet Schools website. Applications will also be available at each magnet school.
