Boonsboro Elementary Magnet Program

As the Magnet School for Global Citizenship, students in our 2nd through 5th grade magnet program benefit from connecting the WCPS Essential Curriculum to project-based learning through the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.  In doing so, our magnet students pride themselves on being global communicators, problem solvers, and inquisitive innovators by engaging in ethical practices of citizenship within the community, across the state, throughout the country, and worldwide.  A perk for all students at Boonsboro Elementary School is our Global Exploration Enrichment class which students rotate through on a weekly basis as one of their Encore classes.  During this time, students develop and apply critical thinking and reasoning skills to analyze personal experiences, understand diverse perspectives, and evaluate information about the world around them.  Fifth graders in our Magnet Program engage in a Capstone Project that incorporates a compilation of their learning from 2nd through 4th grade by creating a lesson contributing to an Outdoor Classroom on our school campus.
