Students are selected to participate in Programs of Choice through a competitive application process during which they are evaluated for the match between individual strengths and interests and program goals, specialized content and instructional approaches.
I-Squared, JISA, RACE, and the STEM Academy are for rising 9th graders but 9th, 10th or 11th-grade students may apply to the IB Programmes at either Johnson High, North Hall High or West Hall high schools.
