Students are required to adhere to a strict discipline and dress code. Parents are expected to attend all parent-teacher conferences and parent meetings. Parents are required to provide transportation for their child. There is no special curriculum as in magnet programs.
Students receive instruction appropriate for their ability level.
There is no admission criteria other than a commitment to the fundamental school philosophy. Should the number of applicants exceed the number of openings, computer random selection will occur. Students not selected are placed on a waiting list. If an opening does not occur during the school year, students must reapply. Upon application, all students in fundamental schools who meet the promotion and procedural requirements will automatically be enrolled in the next grade.
