The Greenwich Public Schools offers a 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 Greenwich Schools website at:
www.greenwichschools.org/magnetschools
The deadline for Magnet Applications for the 2021-2022 school year is February 5, 2021.
