Focus Schools

What are focus schools?

The Nampa School District is proud to offer many options for learning throughout our district. Focus schools are schools that teach the curriculum through a specific lens to enhance student learning. 

Focus schools teach to the same standards and are held to the same requirements as our traditional programs, while enhancing the curriculum through a specific focus. 

What focuses or options are available for my student(s)?

The Nampa School District has five (5) focus schools that include arts integration, project-based learning, blended learning, mastery-based learning, and a dual-language program. 

How can my student enroll in a focus school?

Focus schools are open to all students. Students who live within the school's boundaries attend focus schools as their home school. Students who live in another school's boundaries or who live outside of the Nampa School District are welcome to apply to attend a focus school through our district's open-enrollment process.
