Vintage Magnet offers a rigorous standards based instructional program that emphasizes Math, Science and Technology. The program is designed to target students who have expressed an interest in Math, Science and Technology by integrating these subject areas throughout the curriculum. This creates a high interest program for students that helps support their academic success in all areas.
We invite you to explore our web site and learn more about our school.
Science, technology, engineering and math (STEMs) instruction is supported through various resources on the campus. Students visit a science lab and a computer lab weekly. These labs are staffed with assistants who work with teachers to prepare hands-on and project based lessons. There is an instructional garden on campus which is used to teach life sciences. Every classroom and the school library are connected through a high-speed fiber optic data network and have at least two multimedia capable computers for students to access. Professional development for teachers focuses on best practices in Mathematics, Science and Technology instruction.
In 2007 Vintage Magnet became a NASA Explorer School and entered into a partnership with NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in Mojave, California. We use this relationship enrich our STEMs instruction.
In addition to a focus on math and science, Vintage place a high priority on student behavior and character development. The school is organized around a well structured and disciplined environment conducive to learning and achievement. Students are expected to comply with our Required Dress Code, School Discipline Plan, Homework Policy and school rules.
Homework is assigned daily and reinforces the classroom instructional program. Students are held accountable for doing quality class work and homework.
In 2006 Vintage Math/Science/Technology Magnet School received the California Distinguished School Award. Vintage has also received the Title I Academic Achievement Award for the past four years. These awards and high test scores are a result of the high quality educational program at Vintage Magnet.
Vintage consistently scores above the state benchmark of 800 on the Academic Performance Index (API). Last year our API score was 862.
