SELECTING THE CORRECT MAGNET SCHOOL
Why Select Hyde Park Academy of Science and Mathematics?
It is important to carefully examine the programs offered by specific magnet schools before reaching a decision on which one will be the correct fit for you and your child. The best way to do this is by attending an information meeting at the school(s).
Hyde Park Academy of Science and Mathematics has been in existence for twenty-five years and is the oldest middle level magnet school in Las Vegas. During that time, Hyde Park Academy has gone through changes in order to maintain a program dedicated to providing excellence in education. While the Academy certainly does provide a very challenging program in areas of both math and science, we have expanded our focus. We now provide a program that emphasizes that same advanced level of critical thinking and analysis in language arts and social studies. We have become an academy of studies for the academically talented student.
Gifted children have tremendous developmental differences.
“Why do you make things so complicated?”
“Why are you so sensitive?”
“Why does everything have to be perfect?”
Does this sound like your child? Their education is not about turning the pages faster; it is about students who have refined abstract reasoning or developmental advancement or asynchronous development. The program is difficult and requires student motivation to learn. Our program was developed to address the needs of this group of children.
