Does your son or daughter want to be pilot, a registered nurse or police officer? How about an engineer, veterinarian, or even own their own business one day? Did you know children who attend Orange County Public Schools can specialize in that field right now – before they even graduate from high school.
OCPS is hosting two Magnet Fairs to promote its specialized learning programs known as magnets. All parents and students are invited to learn more about what magnet programs are offered in elementary, middle and high schools. Magnet programs encourage academic excellence in basic areas of study and often pave a road into highly specialized programs in post-secondary schools and colleges. See upcoming information below:
The Magnet Fair is a community open house allowing parents and students to speak with coordinators.

The Office of School Choice Services in Orange County works to increase awareness among parents and community members about voluntary public school choice options in Florida. School Choice means providing parents the opportunity to be involved in selecting the school their child will attend. It also means providing services and assistance to help children receive the instruction that best meets their needs.
