Choice Programs

In This Section

We give our students and families the power of choice.

Every single student, pre-K to high school, should have a choice and a voice in determining the kind of educational experience that’s right for them.

Choice Schools & Programs

We’re relentless champions for student success, offering some of the most innovative, in-demand and interesting Schools and Programs in the nation. Whether you enroll in college, become employed right out of high school, enlist in the armed services or launch your own entrepreneurial venture, your success takes root right here at Guilford County Schools, with innovative Schools and Programs that fit you, your interests and your dreams.

By embracing the power of choice, we’re designing schools of the future based on research, best practices, student and family input, and feedback from employers who help us predict the kinds of professionals they’ll need. The result is exciting: reimagined traditional schools, 48 Choice schools, and 66 programs across elementary, middle and high school that prepare students for the jobs of the future. Learn the way you learn best. Be mentored by passionate and knowledgeable teachers who care and staff members who make a difference for our students every day. Thrive in your school, in your community and in the world. Without a doubt, you’ll find a path and a place that brings out your potential.
