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.
The Nampa School District offers a variety of specialized programs to meet the unique needs and interests of its students. These include arts integration, project-based learning, blended learning, mastery-based learning, STEM, and a dual-language program. Additionally, the district provides a fully online option through NOVA.
All students are welcome to attend focus schools regardless of where they live. If a focus school is within your student's school boundary, they will automatically be assigned to that school. However, if your student lives outside of the school boundary or outside of the Nampa School District, you can still apply for them to attend a focus school through our district's open-enrollment process.
