Online Gifted Program
Many parents with a gifted child have utilized online learning programs which may deliver material at a faster pace, provide information on niche topics not always offered in a traditional K-12 setting, and offer access to like-minded peers. If your child is ready for virtual instruction, the next step is to find the best option.
At Ignite Learning Academy, we think that children learn best in a setting that is tailored to their specific needs. Our online learning program ignites children's interest in learning and fosters independent, inquisitive minds as well as intellect. We believe gifted children should:
- Be able to explore topics of interest.
- Be able to learn something new every day.
- Be exposed to new exploratory ways of learning.
- Interact with intellectual peers.
- Be able to have non-academic needs and support to nurture the whole child.
Students who have been designated as gifted and talented have the chance to pursue their interests through the core course curriculum, capstone projects, and a varied selection of relevant and engaging foreign languages, electives, and advanced courses.
Our Gifted and Talented Program
Gifted students exhibit a complex level of thinking that varies in acceleration and depth. Our gifted program challenges gifted students' unique and creative abilities while developing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our teachers assess the student’s current knowledge and skill levels, adjusting instruction and curriculum to meet each student’s needs.
Gifted children in grades K-5 attend a self-contained gifted school with small class sizes and live lessons every day. Students in grades 6-12 meet with their SPARK instructor regularly, as well as work with their individual teachers as they advance toward their passion project.
Elementary and middle school students are assigned to gifted-specific core classes that stretch their thinking, question their beliefs, and require them to think critically in math, language arts, science, and social studies. Students can broaden their studies by joining a variety of clubs and activities that are intended to explore their interests and ignite their learning and passion.
