Grant’s College Prep and Digital Arts Magnet utilizes a common academic language and strategies to engage students in college-level reading, writing, and critical thinking across disciplines. Along with academic skills, students are taught skills such as habits of mind, organization, and time and stress management. Students enrolled in our CPDA Magnet enjoy a cohesive learning experience in a diverse community with the digital arts infused into core subject courses. Students master content and demonstrate their learning through multiple formats. CPDA students engage in critical thinking through real-world problem-solving.
