Miami-Dade County Public Schools is listening to you.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools is known for innovation in education.
We have been a leader in Choice programs for decades and continue to develop and implement cutting-edge models for delivery of curriculum that will prepare our students for the businesses of tomorrow while utilizing emerging technologies. These models include non-traditional grade configurations, commuter schools that do not restrict students and parents to boundaries, virtual instruction, single-gender instructional environments, as well as educational models housed within various business settings through unique partnerships. Included here is a brief overview of some of those models.
Offering a Wide Variety of Curriculum Choice Programs
Magnet Schools
These programs offer specialized courses of study that satisfy student educational interest and mandated learning goals while promoting diversity.
Parent Choice Programs
Parent Choice programs are different from Magnet programs in that Parent Choice Programs are designed for and first offered to students who are assigned to the school site boundary.
Career Academies
Academic courses that meet high school graduation and college entrance requirements are linked with technical courses that focus on the academy’s theme and are aligned directly to priority workforce needs of the community.
Public/Private Partnerships
Satellite Learning Centers and Charter Schools are public and private partnerships that bring varied resources together in order to support the educational success of all students.
