Help us roll out the welcome wagon, RAL: There’s a new Magnet School in town.

Nestled between Downtown Cary Park and Fenton Shopping Center, the newly opened East Cary Center for Global Studies and World Languages Magnet Middle offers a globally focused curriculum in an academically rigorous environment.

Here are just a few ways it differs from a traditional middle school:

  • Daily global languages: Students can earn up to two high school language credits studying Spanish or Mandarin.
  • Special electives and events: Students regularly step out of the classroom for hands-on learning opportunities throughout Raleigh — like a trip to see Carlos Miguel Prieto, Grammy-winning conductor of the North Carolina Symphony.
  • Focus on positive change: Students are encouraged to make a difference both locally and globally. Recently, students blended research and art to engage the community in raising funds for six species of endangered animals

Psst… No time to waste: Applications close this Thursday, January 23.

Set them up for success
