The Academy of Achievement at Bachrodt is the District’s first elementary Conversion Charter School. As such, it is open to both District and non-district students. It is also one of six District schools awarded a Federal three-year Magnet Schools Assistance grant to design and implement a Global Communications Magnet Through International Languages and Technology. With intensive planning and preparation, in the fall of 2008 Bachrodt offered students a newly designed, challenging and innovative magnet program that integrates technology, creative arts, and second language instruction.
