Enrichment services are provided for approximately 120 gifted students in room 9 at Denali Elementary school. The site was moved from Inlet View to Denali for the 2001-02 school year because this resulted in a substantial reduction in the number of students needing transportation to IGNITE classes.
The site serves students in grades 2-6 from Inlet View, Denali (both Montessori and neighborhood), Chugach Optional and one private school. We serve a very diverse group of students from a wide range of educational philosophies. The teachers at the site are Peter Ljubicich and Krista Perrault. Besides direct delivery of a self-designed curriculum, IGNITE teachers at all sites must take care of qualification testing, parent conferences and a tremendous amount of paperwork required under Anchorage School District guidelines.
Each identified student is bused to Denali for one half-day session per week. Multi-age grouping is practiced, determined by classroom teacher preferences, geography and where the bus routes must run. Class size varies from 11 to 26, though the numbers always increase considerably during the year as new students are referred to us and evaluation is completed.
