The History of the Writing Academy at San Diego High
After a three year study, in 1983, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching released a report that concluded that "writing is the most important and most neglected skill in school." In 1985, San Diego High was given the opportunity to reinvent itself through the addition of magnet programs. When we opened the total-school magnet, the Writing Academy, we became the first public high school in the nation to use writing as a means for learning in all subject areas. Partnered with the International Baccalaureate program, it provides an exceptional educational experience for all students.
