Magnet programs

Richland Northeast is home to four magnet programs:

  • Palmetto Center for the Arts
  • International Baccalaureate

Beginning in the 2015–2016 school year, iLink will merge with Convergence Media and become iMedia.[6] A merger between Convergence Media and former program iLink was planned for the 2015–16 school year, but did not go through and resulted in the dissolution of the iLink program. Convergence Media is functioning as before.

Palmetto Center for the Arts

The Palmetto Center for the Arts received the John F. Kennedy Center Creative Ticket award for outstanding achievement in arts education. It includes dance, music, theater, and visual arts. All PCA students are enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Programme. Students who wish to join must have at least a C average.[7] Students may audition for as many programs as they want, but they can only get accepted into one.[8]
