Programs

Beck International Academy is one of Greenville County Schools’ magnet academies. The district’s magnet academies page says the program “offers a comprehensive instructional program that emphasizes student-centered inquiry and instruction, mastery of eight required subjects, and second language proficiency.”

Magnet seats are open to students across the county by application through the Backpack parent portal. Applications are scored on attendance, discipline and academic performance, siblings of current magnet students have priority in the first round, and a lottery is used when more students qualify than there are seats, according to the same page.
