Sinclair Elementary’s Magnet Program

Sinclair Elementary offers a unique magnet program, pairing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with multiple elements of humanities disciplines through a focus on communications. While many area schools do provide a robust science experience, Sinclair aims to cultivate well-rounded scholars by exposing all students (both zoned and non-zoned) to a wide range of balanced curriculum.

Offerings include:

  • STEM Lab (hands-on engineering paired with introduction to coding languages)

  • Digital Media & Publications Workshop (communicating original works via various digital mediums)

  • Music Composition & Performance Studio (building music literacy through performance and computer-based compositions)

  • Drama & Theatre Production (strengthening interpersonal and collaboration skills)

  • Gifted & Talented Programming

  • SMARTBoards in all classrooms

  • Outdoor Learning CenterAfter-school clubs (athletic & academic/enrichment)

  • Site-based after school child care program

  • Pre-Kindergarten program

Prospective families are welcome to join a school tour, taking place every Thursday at 9:30AM. Appointments are not necessary to attend. Check Sinclair's website: www.houstonisd.org/sinclaires for upcoming tour dates.
