Attendees will learn each of the school’s unique offerings and will have a chance to ask questions to members of the respective school administration.

About Greenwich Public School Magnet Schools:

The Greenwich Public Schools (GPS) are proud to offer choice to the families of Greenwich that may wish to apply to any of the District’s four elementary magnet schools and one middle school magnet program. School choice provides opportunities to attend a school with programs that may be of particular interest to a family and/or an individual student. School choice also provides the District with a means of balancing enrollment among its schools on a voluntary basis rather than by mandating school attendance area changes. The Magnet School Application Guidelines Packet is available on the GPS website at: www.greenwichschools.org/magnetschools.

All Greenwich Public Elementary/Middle Schools, including magnets, teach the same curriculum and provide the same basic support service programs.
