Families invited to learn about gifted magnet pathway
School District Five of Lexington and Richland Counties will host an Escolares Pathway Information Night Thursday, October 15, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Irmo Middle School.
The event will give families an opportunity to learn about the Escolares Pathway and meet district personnel, school administrators and teachers.
Escolares is the district’s collection of academically gifted magnet programs, providing a pathway for students from second through 10th grade. Students must apply online during the district’s Magnet and Choice Application period, which runs from November 19 through January 20. Students already enrolled in an Escolares program do not need to reapply.
The pathway begins in second grade at Harbison West Elementary School through the Escolares Academy, continues at Irmo Middle School through the I AM Escolares program, and extends to Irmo High School through the This Is Escolares program.
This Is Escolares prepares ninth- and 10th-grade students for the International Baccalaureate programs at Irmo High School during their junior and senior years.
For more information, contact the district’s Magnet Office at 803-476-8260 or visit www.lexrich5.org/escolares.
