International Studies Magnet Program Tour for Prospective Families (Grades K–5)

We invite families of prospective students entering Kindergarten through 5th grade to explore the vibrant world of our International Studies Magnet Program. This guided tour offers a firsthand look at how our school nurtures global learners from their very first day through the elementary years.

Tour Highlights:

Informational Session - Begin with an overview of our magnet philosophy, curriculum, and enrichment opportunities. Learn how students engage with world languages, global cultures, and international perspectives across all grade levels.
Classroom Visits - Step into active learning environments across multiple grade levels to see how international studies come to life. From kindergarten play-based exploration to upper-grade project-based learning, you'll witness how global themes are integrated at every stage.
Campus Tour -Explore our dynamic campus, including spaces for art, music, media, and physical education—all designed to support a rich, multicultural experience.
Q&A Session - Conclude with an open forum where school leaders and magnet coordinators will answer your questions about curriculum, student life, application procedures, and more.

Whether you're just beginning your educational journey or looking to join our community in grades 1–5, this tour is the perfect opportunity to discover what makes our International Studies Magnet Program truly exceptional.
