ABOUT DESIGN CENTER SCHOOLS

Design center schools offer specialized (thematic) programs. The curriculum for Design Center Schools is patterned after one of the following themes: Spanish Immersion, Advanced Academics, Language/Literature, Montessori, Paideia, Global Environmental Awarness, and Health and Medical Sciences.

Students living within the school zone have the first choice at enrolling in these schools. Students living in the high school cluster have the second priority and must apply through the lottery. Students living outside the cluster must apply through the lottery and go on a waiting list for space available. Design center schools range from grades PreSchool (age 3) - 8.

The current Design Center Schools are :

** These schools do not have a zone population. The geographic priority zone would have first priority and the high school cluster has second priority and all must apply through the lottery.
