Our Magnet's Mission
Commonwealth Gifted/High Ability Magnet creates a positive educational atmosphere where students engage in rigorous, comprehensive and culturally relevant curriculum. We are committed to providing a quality program infused with the Arts and Technology to students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds while fostering strong relationships with their families and the community. It will engage the learner in a vast array of real life experiences that will intellectually stimulate and nourish the mind through project-based learning activities. We will provide an academically rigorous yet balanced program that prepares them to meet the demands of higher education and become college and career ready for the 21st century. The program will cultivate strong critical thinking, independence, creativity and the technological skills to be life-long learners and productive members of society.
As a Gifted/High Achievement Magnet, student achievement will be attained through the education and development of the “whole child.” Our program addresses both the academic and social well-being of our students. Academically, students will develop strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills through varied, enriched, and dynamic learning experiences that focus on depth and complexity. Socially, students will be provided with a caring and safe learning environment that promotes positive self-esteem, confidence, responsibility, and good citizenship. Our students will learn and appreciate how academics, creativity, risk-taking, and collaboration contribute to their overall success as students and world citizens.
We will strive to collaborate with the school community to strategically align our shared vision for student success with the District’s Core Beliefs. Our mission will be achieved through the dedication and work of our educators, supportive parents and community. Together we will ensure that the school maintains a clear instructional focus with student learning at its center. Our highly qualified staff will embrace and implement inquiry-based instruction to develop higher level thinking skills. Students will be afforded multiple opportunities to participate in various genres of the arts while using their technological skills to produce culminating projects. The use of multiple sources of data will be paramount to monitoring student learning and teaching practices.
Our Magnet fosters high levels of collaboration and communication among students, parents, and the community in order to build trust and positive relationships.
