We are the Vikings, the mighty,mighty Vikings. The Academically Gifted Magnet schools provide a full day, intensive program appropriate for identified academically gifted students in grades three through five. Learning Immersion is offered for students in kindergarten to grade two. At the Learning Immersion Centers student learning is accelerated through an intense program which focuses on the strengths of each child.
Emphasis is placed on communication arts, mathematics and enrichment experiences.
Because the program is built around accelerated learning, students are challenged each day to reach their fullest potential. The Montessori approach to math is incorporated in the kindergarten and first grade curriculum. Students are assessed regularly and assigned to multi-aged groups to better meet their individual needs. The classroom teacher works in collaboration with resource teachers and the staff of the Academically Gifted program to plan appropriate learning strategies for the students. At the end of the second grade, each student will be evaluated for entrance to the Academically Gifted program.
