Mike O’Callaghan Middle School i3 Learn Academy

About O’Callaghan i3 Learn Academy

Mike O’Callaghan i3 Learn Academy is a full STEM magnet serving grades 6–8. The i3 Learn Academy name is the school’s magnet identity, not a separate program inside a neighborhood school.

The campus also offers clubs and middle-school athletics. Course groupings and academic-support programs can change, so families should check current school and magnet information.

How families get in

O’Callaghan is a full magnet with no residual attendance zone. Families apply through CCSD School Choice and the magnet process.

• Middle-school magnet admission is interest-based.
• The guide reports no separate academic gate at application, but families should confirm current rules.
• Living near the campus does not automatically provide a seat.
• If the lottery is not your plan, use the CCSD zoning lookup to identify the assigned neighborhood school.

Magnet rules can change. Confirm application requirements, deadlines and transportation eligibility with CCSD.

Who it tends to fit

A nearby zoned middle school is not a backup seat at O’Callaghan. Confirm the school assigned to your address through the CCSD zoning lookup.

• Ask counseling which reading, mathematics and other academic supports are currently available.
• Clubs and middle-school athletics are offered alongside the STEM theme.
