    What We Do:
    Our model is Career Exploration and Passion-Driven Learning. IGNITE is a middle school where every scholar crafts a professional vision, and that vision becomes the context, motivator, and purpose for their learning. Our mission is to create an inspirational, challenging, and caring learning community that empowers all students with the academic ability, life skills, and rich learning experiences needed to realize their unique life visions.

    How We Do It:
    To ensure that every student leaves the 8th grade knowing who they are, where they are going, and how they will get there, we take IGNITE scholars on a four-phase journey to Impact:
    • Awaken: Self-Discovery
    • Enlighten: Career Exploration
    • Ignite: Crafting a Vision
    • Impact: Realizing the Vision
