Accelerated Learner Services

What We Do

Accelerated Learner Services provides academic support and resources to identified gifted and high ability students. This is accomplished by finding advanced and personalized programming options and or enrichment opportunities based on academic need. Per District policy IGBB, the Acceleration Referral request should be made by the currently enrolled student’s parent(s) to their school principal and/or school counselor to determine options and need for evaluation.
