2025-2026 IgKnight Academy Enrollment Window:

September 3, 2024- November 26, 2024

We are seeking to expand IgKnight Academy (KIPLA) to include 9th and 10th grades in the 2025-2026 school year. The expansion is dependent on several factors, including the minimum enrollment of 25 interested high school students. The first step in determining the feasibility of expansion is to determine interest levels. We are also continuing to plan staffing levels at IgKnight for grades 3-8. Therefore, we will be opening enrollment early for any student who will enter grades 3-11 in the 2025-2026 at IgKnight Academy. If you have an interest in attending IgKnight Academy in the 2025-2026 school year, please complete enrollment in the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus between 9/3/24-11/26/24.
