August 31, 2018
Congratulations to Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) Wilton Manors Elementary School for being named a nationally certified magnet school by Magnet Schools of America (MSA), the national association for magnet and theme-based schools. Wilton Manors Elementary, the only authorized International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme in BCPS, joins a select group of schools nationwide that adhere to rigorous magnet school standards of excellence.
“The certification process recognizes the highest quality schools in public education. Nationally certified magnet schools illustrate and emulate rigorous theme-based curriculum, ensure diverse settings in which students thrive and are prepared for college and career,” said Kelly Bucherie, director for magnet school leadership, Magnet Schools of America.
The national certification process is based on the standards of excellence and the five pillars of magnet schools: diversity, innovative curriculum and professional development, academic excellence, high-quality instructional systems, and family and community partnerships. Together, these qualities define the common elements of exemplary magnet programs.
“It has always been our mission to provide a high quality and innovative program that promotes academic excellence and core ethical values,” said Wilton Manors Elementary Principal Melissa Holtz. “We are honored to be recognized for our efforts.”
