About the Amana Magnet Program
The Amana Magnet program serves Kindergarten students and is looking to expand to first and second grades for the 2025-26 school year if enrollment numbers allow. All families are Welcome!! Anyone living in the CCA School District and outside of the school district boundaries are welcome.
Magnet Schools are founded on the five pillars:
- Diversity
- Innovative curriculum and professional development
- Academic Excellence
- High Quality Instructional Systems
- Family & Community Partnerships
The synergistic relationship of these five equally held tenets is not merely a foundation, but a compass moving our students forward to a well-prepared future.
Magnet Schools attract children of various socio-economic backgrounds, race and academic achievement levels and are accountable to state standards and, in many cases, exceed those standards.
STEAM
Amana will be an elementary STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) themed magnet school with a major emphasis on:
- Spanish
- Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Launch - an innovative and hands-on learning program for our students. PLTW Launch provides students with the opportunity to explore topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through exciting, real-world projects.
- Engineering Technology -Students will be encouraged to use the practical application of science, technology and engineering to real world problems.
- Fine Arts – Students will explore the different aspects of the arts including theater, drawing, painting, vocal and instruments.
- Math and Science will follow the state standards, but additional rigor and hands-on opportunities will be provided to connect real world applications, which include project based activities.
