In the Humanitas Program, students will receive thematic, interdisciplinary instruction, which means the lessons in each class are connected to each other. There is a strong emphasis on writing skills in the program, as well as cooperative learning lessons. Students stay together for their Humanitas classes, which are connected through common themes and ideas. Students interested in the Humanitas Program need a recommendation from their counselor or a teacher. In the computer lab, students learn to use the Microsoft Windows software, Microsoft Office, on PC computers.
Students also produce broadcasts that can be shown to other classrooms.
A special feature of the Magnet classes is that all academic classrooms are linked in a computer network for file management and worldwide communications. Students who are interested in joining the Magnet program must use the application in the Choices booklet that is distributed during the fall semester each year. For additional information about the Communications Technology Magnet Center, contact the Magnet Center office on the second floor of the 100 building. The Career Academies and Tech Prep Programs are available to any Grant student-who wants to enroll in the program for at least two years. The Tech Prep Program allows students to receive credit from Los Angeles Valley College for certain classes taken.
