Science is Our "Thing" at Fedde Magnet Middle School

Welcome to Fedde Magnet Middle School! It is a pleasure to welcome you to Fedde. As a magnet school for science, math, technology, and cross-curricular literacy we strive to provide the best education possible for our students. We offer a wide range of opportunities to prepare students for the high school and beyond.

As a magnet school we realize that we offer a variety of schools in one; our HONORS program supports advanced education through expanded requirements in each curricular area. Students enrolled in Honors are encouraged to participate in the CJSF- Honor Society. Advanced field studies are provided. This past year students attended Body Worlds at the California Science Center, they visit universities such as USC, UCI, UCLA, and CSULB. Students have also visited various oceanographic sites such as the Long Beach Aquarium, Santa Monica Beach and Aquarium or studied at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands.

Our GENERAL EDUCATION program supports magnet students with a curricular program that emphasizes literacy, math and general education requirements. The ELD (English Language Development) program supports students who are developing English skills in all of the disciplines. Special Education classes support students by providing smaller classes by a well-trained staff. All magnet students are involved in Physical Education where health and fitness are the key components to healthy living. Students are also involved in Band, Cheer, and the Environmental Science Club and other activities. After school Guided-Study and ASPIRE programs offer tutoring and additional skills instruction for magnet students. Over 200 magnet students attend this 7th and 8th period tutorial component to end our day.

Fedde believes in offering students a well-rounded magnet education. In order to do this we believe that students need to experience a strong academic program as well as providing fun activities and exchanges with other schools. Our after school sports program offers competitive sports with other middle schools, with Fedde doing very well in competitions. Fedde is the host for the district's middle school Science Olympics with an attendance of well over 600 people. We have established a sister-school partnership with Hui Min Middle School in the People's Republic of China. In 2005 we sent fourteen representatives from Fedde to visit China during Spring Break. In 2006 over sixty students from China visited Fedde. Our magnet program continues to focus on high academic expectations while exploring the world of education.
