How to Apply

Eligibility & Academic Requirements

Magnet Programs are open to qualified students throughout the state of Florida. All students entering grades K–12 may apply, and students must be five years old by September 1 to enter kindergarten. All applicants are expected to demonstrate good conduct.

At the elementary level, there are no academic entrance requirements.
At the secondary level (middle and high school), some Magnet Programs require academic performance and/or a talent-based audition for admission, ensuring students are placed in settings that promote their success. The only exceptions are the iCAN, ACES, and STEM programs, which do not have entrance criteria. For students who do not initially meet academic requirements, a review process is in place.

• Before completing a magnet application, you will need to ensure that your child has a student identification number with Broward County Public Schools. You may secure the identification number from your child's home boundary school or any public school in Broward County.
• Incomplete applications will NOT be processed. Only one application per student will be accepted. Applications received or postmarked after the close of the application window will be processed at a later date pending space availability.
• Students applying to kindergarten must be five years old by September 1st.
• All Middle School and High School applicants must submit a copy of their most recent report card when completing their applications through the School Choice Web Page for more information.
