About IMAGE
The IMAGE (Identified Members of Academically Gifted Education) program serves academically talented students in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade who live in and/or attend a public or private school in the Grandville school district.
Students in the program work on projects that incorporate higher level thinking, research, and technology skills. The program is intended to serve the needs of these students by offering engaging units that challenge them while providing opportunities to both study independently in self-selected areas of interest, and interact and cooperatively learn with other students of similar abilities but who may have diverse interests.
More information about the units offered at each grade level can be found in the pages linked above.
Location
The IMAGE program is currently housed at the Grandville Middle School. Students are bused to this location for class one half day per week.
Schedule
Students attend IMAGE one half-day each week on the following Schedule.

IMAGE Nomination - Spring 2022
Pease note that if a student meets the qualification criteria based on Fall or Winter scores, they should be nominated by Friday, May 6th so testing can begin on Monday, May 16th. If a student later qualifies for Cognitive Abilities Testing following Spring MAP testing, nominations can be made at that time, and make-up test sessions will be scheduled for those cases.
E.P.I.C.
New for the 2019-2020 school year and continuing again this year, E.P.I.C. (Empowering Personal Interest Challenges) is an effort to provide students with additional, self-selected learning and growth opportunities outside of their time in IMAGE.
Each Challenge is designed to meaningfully engage participants in the areas of Reading, Memorization, Citizenship, Physical/Dexterity, Writing/Research, and many Others.
For a full list of Challenges, as well as links to individual Challenges in each category, along with a digital scoreboard of students' accomplishments, please visit the master document for E.P.I.C.
