Meigs Academics

Curriculum Offerings
Meigs Magnet School is a school of choice, offering in-depth instruction for academically gifted and talented students.  In addition to traditional core studies, students have an opportunity to take P.E., art, computer, drama, and music each year they are enrolled at Meigs.  Fifth, sixth and seventh graders rotate these throughout the years.  Band, strings classes are available to students in grades five through eight.

For the students' eighth grade year, students may audition for advanced classes in art, computer, and drama. Advanced related arts students attend these classes all year.  Students may also take level one French, Spanish or Latin to earn a foreign language high school credit.  High school credits are also offered in physical science and integrated math.

Enrichment Wednesdays expands learning opportunities even further to explore interests and free-play.
