Students at magnet and fundamental fair

Pinellas County Schools is planning a variety of events to help families explore magnet and fundamental programs.

Magnet programs offer unique educational experiences designed to nurture individual interests, talents and abilities. Fundamental schools provide a structured learning environment with a focus on academic excellence, parent involvement and student responsibility.

Families can apply for the 2027-28 school year in January.

This fall, families will have several opportunities to learn more about these programs, meet school representatives and discover which options may be the best fit for their students.
