  • Core Academic Gifted Classes - IGNITE

     

    U-46 provides Core Academic Gifted Classes to 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students who are invited into the IGNITE program. These students have been screened and demonstrate exceptional intellectual ability and high-level performance across core academic subjects: language arts; math; science; and social studies. IGNITE participants are enrolled in Gifted core classes and are integrated with grade-level students for all others including homeroom, lunch, and extracurricular activities. 

    IGNITE sites are geographically accessible in eight schools across the District.
