The Aspire Program offers

  • Differentiated educational support for advanced students

  • Opportunities for students to learn alongside similarly-skilled and motivated peers

  • Instruction that engages students in depth, complexity, and higher-order thinking

Aspire provides a continuum of services to eligible students in grades 1-12. Aspire services are different at various grades; the continuum of services is fluid and responsive to student needs as well as district capacity. Options for service may include: accelerated learning opportunities and advanced grade placement, academic grouping arrangements that provide intellectual and interest peer group interactions, self-contained classrooms, honors classes, Advanced Placement classes, and Running Start classes.

By challenging students appropriately and cultivating their academic potential, Aspire helps prepare students for future success—academically, socially and personally.
