 JL Mann Magnet School Program
If you are a student seeking
a high school that offers a demanding curriculum and that rewards excellence,
JL Mann Academy should be your school of choice. The goals of our Academy
are:
To expand math,
science, and technology instruction to attract motivated high school
students of different racial, ethnic, social, and economic communities of
Greenville.
- To provide
in-depth courses of study in sciences, math and technology that will lead to
post-secondary education or career opportunities for every student.
- To extend
learning opportunities in the humanities, arts, and languages in a
comprehensive, rigorous, and well-rounded educational program for all
students.
Students who choose to
enroll in the Academy will be offered a choice of three rigorous academic
pathways in mathematics, science and technology. Course offerings include an
array of CP, Honors and Advanced Placement courses taught by highly qualified
instructors. A number of these faculty members hold doctoral degrees, have
taught at the college level, and are Board Certified educators. Several of the
courses related to our magnet focus are offered every other year. This expands
the possible choices for our students who want to pursue college degrees and
careers in math, science, and/or technology. With written approval from the
Magnet Committee, some students seeking the Magnet Distinction award may choose
to complete their pathway in science and technology at our district career
centers. While magnet students MUST choose one of
the three pathways that lead to Magnet Distinction, this same choice is open to
ANY student enrolled at JL Mann Academy.
Maximum use is made of
technology in the AP program as well as the mathematics and science courses
which are preparatory to AP courses. Computers, as well as hand-held technology
and advanced instructional tools such as Promethean boards, have become a part
of every classroom and greatly enhance the learning environment at Mann Academy.
Students who see a future in
the sciences, mathematics, engineering and/or computers, as well as those who
wish to be prepared for the most challenging university programs, need more than
the core offerings of our magnet program. Students who complete the requirements
for Magnet Distinction will take three years of the same world language, gain
skill in technical writing, earn at least one credit in Fine Arts and complete
an independent Senior Project. Our foreign language program includes Spanish,
French, German and Latin. Mann Academy also offers a sequence of honors, AP,
and college preparatory courses in the social sciences and humanities.
Our mission is to provide an
environment with high standards, a challenging curriculum, and interdisciplinary
studies where students pursuing their academic interests in the disciplines of
math, science and technology can learn, achieve and prepare themselves for
college and the world beyond.
