Anne Arundel county public schools proudly offer three distinct magnet programs for county middle and high school students. 

• International Baccalaureate (IB), 
• Apex Arts (formerly known as Performing and Visual Arts (PVA), and
• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), including the healthcare industry with Biomedical Allied Health (BMAH).

In these programs, students explore their interests, talents, and abilities in a hands-on, highly specialized and rigorous instructional setting. They learn the skills, techniques, and issues that are current and relevant within their field of study. Students take both pride and ownership in being a part of a Magnet program as they prepare themselves to be future leaders.
