The Talent Development (TD) program serves grades 3-5. The TD program provides a full-day, inclusive program for identified AIG students. Identified AIG students in 5th grade have automatic continuation to the International Baccalaureate (IB) program in their transportation zone. Students who are not identified as AIG by grade 3 may remain in the school and continue in the LI program. Automatic continuation for non-identified students is not available and students must attend their home middle school or apply for a middle school of choice during the lottery.
