Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine are expanding their youth learning programs to Atlanta in partnership with Atlanta Public Schools. The new program, called the Iovine and Young Center, will be located at Frederick Douglass High School and is set to begin next school year. This initiative aims to provide students with a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum and real-world opportunities to prepare them for modern job opportunities.

Jimmy Iovine, during the program's introduction, expressed their belief that this initiative will give students an advantage and a different type of education. He emphasized the importance of these students in the modern job market, referring to them as having "superpowers."

High school students in Atlanta see this program as an opportunity to showcase their potential and engage more in their education. They hope that it will provide more opportunities for them and help them overcome the challenges they face in their current educational environment.

This expansion comes a year after Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine's magnet school opened in Los Angeles. While it's not a music school, it aims to prepare students for various career paths, including entrepreneurship and working at companies like Marvel or Apple.

The Iovine and Young Center continues Dre and Iovine's commitment to providing innovative education opportunities for young people, empowering them with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in today's world.
