Magnet & Gifted Program
Our Gifted, and Math, Science, and
Technology Magnet programs are grade
six through eight schools located on the campus
of El Sereno Middle School. Both Magnet schools
are part of the District’s voluntary desegregation
program which provides a thematic, integrated
educational experience.
The enrollment capacity is 113 students for
the Gifted Magnet, and 141 students for the Math,
Science, and Technology Magnet. The Gifted
Magnet serves students identified or verified
Gifted per LAUSD guidelines. The Math, Science
and Technology Magnet is a mathematics driven
program designed for students who are
interested in pursuing careers in science,
medicine, or technology and is open to all
students. Both programs offer an enriched and
challenging internationally-minded, standardsbased, differentiated, academic curriculum. The
themes of Math, Science, and Technology are
emphasized in all classes and, all students are
treated with the same high expectations
bestowed upon gifted learners. Both programs
are blended together to create and achieve one
vision, one mission, and one purpose.
El Sereno Middle School and Magnet Center
operate on a traditional school calendar (Aug.June), and transportation is provided for all
Magnet school students who live beyond a fivemile radius, or near established El Sereno M.S.

What is The Dual Language
Program?
Dual-Language Immersion, utilizes
two languages for instruction. In the
Los Angeles Unified School District
the Dual Language Program, teachers
use specially designed instruction in
English and Mandarin to teach
students
grade
level concepts and skills.
How does
it work?
Teachers use a variety of
specialized techniques to make the
instruction comprehensible to
students, teaching both language
and content. Each year the
instruction in English increases,
leading to a balance of teaching
70% of the day in English and 30%
of Mandarin.
Program Goals
Develop communicative and academic
second language proficiency
Develop primary language proficiency
Develop academic achievement in all
subject areas
Instill an appreciation for
cultural diversity
How do I apply for the program?
Currently, if you and your child are
interested we will ask that you
complete the application and enroll
your child in the Dual Language
Classes.
“Study after study has reported that
children in bilingual programs typically
outperform their counterparts in allEnglish programs on tests of academic
achievement in English. Or, at worst, they
do just as well. Numerous reviews of the
research have confirmed this conclusion.”

USC’s Neighborhood Academic
Initiative (NAI) is a rigorous, sevenyear pre-college enrichment program
designed to prepare low-income
neighborhood students for admission
to a college or university.
For scholars to be eligible for the
NAI scholarships, their parents
must commit to attending 80
percent of these seminars, which
meet on the University Park
campus for four hours on Saturday
mornings about 12 times a year.
Those who complete the program,
meet USC’s competitive admission
requirements and choose to attend
USC are rewarded with a full 4.5-year
financial package, minus loans.
While the Neighborhood Academic
Initiative’s primary goal is to get
neighborhood students into USC
with a full financial package, the
obligation doesn’t stop there. The
Retention Component helps ensure
that a student’s hard work getting
into USC or another institution
results in a degree.
The program was established in 1989
and enrolled its first scholars in the
1991-92 academic year. Pulling together
private as well as corporate resources,
the NAI encompasses three major
components: the USC Pre-College
Enrichment Academy, the Family
Development Institute and the
Retention Program.

USC Academy Program
The flagship program of NAI, the
Pre-College Enrichment Academy
provides enhanced educational
services to middle- and high-school
students with the goal helping them
acquire the academic skills they
need to flourish in a college or
university setting.
The scholars receive full academic
credit for these courses, which
cover the following subject
matter:
The academy offers enhanced classes
at USC on weekday mornings, the
Saturday Academy, after-school
tutoring, remedial and enrichment
sessions, workshops on time
management and study skills, PSAT
and SAT1 preparation, cultural field
trips and recreational activities.
Grades 7 and 8: Language arts
Before school each day throughout
the year, NAI scholars meet on the
University Park campus from 7:30 to
9:30 a.m. for enhanced classes taught
by teachers from their home schools.
Grade 7: Pre-algebra (students
must complete Algebra 1 prior to
graduation from 8th grade)
Grade 9: English and geometry
Grade 10: English and algebra
Grade 11: American literature
expository composition and math
analysis/trigonometry
Grade 12: Advanced-placement
English literature and either
advanced-placement statistics or
calculus
Supplementing these early-morning
classes, NAI scholars attend the
Saturday Academy, which meets for
four hours every Saturday to provide
enriched as well as remedial
instruction in English/language arts
and mathematics.
Courses incorporate lectures,
tutoring and small-group exercises,
and are taught by professional
teachers, paid and volunteer tutors
and teaching assistants from USC’s
student body, and NAI alumni.
In addition, peer tutoring and
cooperative learning activities
maximize opportunities for scholars
to learn from one another and
reinforce the knowledge they have
gained. NAI scholars also receive two
hours per week of structured afterschool tutoring.

MESA Schools Program (MSP)
The MSP assists students at middle
and senior high schools) so they excel
in math and science and become
competitively eligible for academically
rigorous colleges and universities.
The MSP partners with teachers,
administrators, school district officials,
schools and industry representatives to
provide quality academic enrichment.
Student selection and services are
implemented through a collaboration
involving teachers at participating
schools and personnel from local
MESA centers.
The MSP offers:
•Individual Academic Plans.
The plans help monitor individual
student progress toward college..
•Study skills training. Students learn
the most effective study techniques for
academic achievement.
•MESA Day Academies. Hands-on
math and science competitions give
students a chance to meet like-minded
students and vie for awards. Students
follow MESA-developed curriculum
that reinforce California state math
and science content standards. Top
winners of local competitions advance
to regional and, in some instances,
national contests.
One of the country's most innovative
and successful programs, MESA works
with thousands of educationally
disadvantaged students so they excel in
math and science and graduate with
math-based degrees.

Learn what engineers do
Engineering is the process of
envisioning, inventing, creating
and building the world around us.
Engineers use the natural chemicals
and materials found in the world, as
well as the artificial chemicals and
materials created in the laboratory,
to design and build the things we
need every day.
For example, engineers use:
•Brick, steel and glass to design and
build buildings
•Earth, rock, cement and asphalt to design
and build roads and roadway systems
•Wood, aluminum and new composite
materials to design and build cars,
airplanes and jets
•Earth-moving plans to design and build
tunnels and dams
•Engineering technology to solve and
prevent medical problems by creating
artificial limbs, artificial valves for the
heart, various types of sensors for the
blind, and safety equipment and
clothing for firefighters
•The principles of chemistry to solve
problems involving the production or
use of chemicals and bio chemicals
•And, knowledge of the properties of
light to build lasers and the physiology
of the body to design products that are
comfortable and safe to use.
In fact, before we can buy any product
from a store – such as laundry
detergent, computers, vacuum
cleaners and tennis racquets –
engineers must bring all the right
materials together and assemble them
in just the right way.
How do engineers do all this?
By using math and science to solve
problems, engineers create new things
and improve old things. As a result,
engineers make our lives better.
