Learning Immersion (LI) and Talent Development (TD) is a program designed for advanced and gifted learners. We provide rigorous instruction that promotes analytical, creative and critical thinking skills.
Our school fosters learning through the 4 E’s:
The Learning Immersion (LI) program is designed to nurture academic potential and develop the talents of students in grades K-5. The Talent Development (TD) program serves gifted students in third-fifth grades with rigorous instruction. AIG students in the TD program at a LI/TD magnet school have automatic continuation into an IB middle school within their transportation zone. In addition, the program embraces the 4Es- explore, empower, enrich, and engage.
Explore all students' interests, gifts, and talents through LI/TD Enrichment Electives and learning experiences inside and outside the classroom.
Empower all students through a rigorous curriculum and higher-level instruction based on best practices of gifted education.
Enrich learning experiences for all students by infusing innovation, creativity, critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving.
