Magnet Programs

MicroSociety

The MicroSociety program provides an innovative school design where students create a microcosm of the real world. Young entrepreneurs produce goods and services, elected officials establish laws, Crime Stoppers keep the peace, judges arbitrate disputes, and reporters track down stories. All citizens earn wages in the school’s “micro-currency,” invest in product ideas, deposit and borrow money from “Micro” banks, and pay taxes, tuition and rent.
