School Choice Showcase to provide information to students and parents

Posted

ST. Johns County middle and high school students and their parents are encouraged to attend the Program of Choice Showcase from 3:30-7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 9 at the World Golf Village Convention Center. Programs of Choice are offered to support a student’s interests, career plans or advanced academic needs. A student who enrolls in a Program of Choice participates in theme-related classes over a multi-year time period.

More than 40 percent of high school students in St. Johns County are enrolled in various Programs of Choice, which include Junior ROTC, St. Johns County Center for the Arts, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education, as well as 20 Career Academy options.

Students and staff from each high school will be on hand to provide information and answer questions about the Programs of Choice offered at their schools. Information about program requirements and registration will also be available. Any student who meets an individual program’s requirements and who can provide their own transportation may be approved to attend any high school, on a “space available” basis.
