Our vision states that the passionate educators of Kittredge Magnet School for High Achievers will set the standard for educational excellence through collaboration, communication and student engagement.

Students have opportunities to problem solve, make decisions and set goals. Students are challenged to think critically. Meaningful homework enriches and supports the learning objectives identified in the classroom. There is clear rationale for methodologies used in planning and instruction. In addition to the core academic subjects of English/Language Arts, math, science and social studies, students receive instruction in German, Instrumental or Choral Music, art, physical education, and technology. Gifted instruction is given daily in the regular classroom where opportunities for differentiated instruction, problem solving, compacting, student directed projects, and cooperative learning are the norm. Field trips to Space Camp, Jekyll Island and even to Europe enhance the KMS experience. It's a great time to be a KMS High Achiever!
