ECMA MAGNET PROGRAM

The East Columbus Magnet Academy G.E.M.S. are being challenged in a nurturing environment that includes student directed learning.  G.E.M.S. become collaborators and experts in their academic areas of interest.  With the use of the Renzulli Learning System, students, teachers, and parents are actively involved in the development of each child’s talent.
