What is the difference between SAS and Magnet?

 

- SAS is a program for gifted students.

 

- Ninth and tenth grade English and Biology for SAS students are “high” honors classes. In these classes, teachers present a differentiated curriculum to meet the needs of their gifted students.

 

- SAS students are required to take their first advanced placement class in the tenth grade.

 

- While many Magnet students have the gifted designation, Magnet is not a gifted program.

 

- Magnet students take several cored subjects. SAS classes are stand-alone classes, mainly because SAS students take advanced placement classes beginning in the tenth grade.

 

- Buses are not provided to SAS students who live out of Cleveland’s residential area.
