Grades PreK - 4

OUR School

Amite’s Elementary Communications Magnet Program is designed to teach students to be competitive participants in an ever-changing technilogical society. To prepare our children for the future, they must experience active learning which focuses on information skills: gathering, analyzing and communicating information.

The Communications Magnet program prepares our children by providing active learning opportunities every day. Through active learning modules the students work on in-depth projects requiring the use of technology, research, analytical and communication skills.
