Here in Dublin City Schools, we pride ourselves on providing families with #ThePowerOfChoice. A shift from the traditional pull-out model of providing gifted services, the Irish Gifted Academy began in 2019 and serves children in an all-day PROGRAM that is technology-rich with a project-based curriculum. Applications for the 2025-2026 school year are open NOW - Monday, March 3rd.
Mr. Taylor, IGA’s Principal, has created this short video to explain the process. A few important points he mentions are:
If you have a rising Pre-K student, please do NOT complete an IGA application. Instead, your family will complete the traditional Pre-K application, which opens during Dublin City Schools' Early Bird Enrollment on Saturday, February 22nd.
If you have a rising Kindergartener, your family will complete the application in its entirety minus the student questionnaire found on page 6.
If you have a rising 1st - 8th Grader, your family will complete all components of the application.
A helpful checklist to ensure the application is completed in its entirety is located on page 4 of the packet.
Applications can be hand delivered or mailed to the Irish Gifted Academy, Attn: Matt Taylor at 1951 Hillcrest Parkway, Dublin, GA 31021. They can also be emailed to matt.taylor@dcsirish.com.
If you have any questions about the IGA, please email matt.taylor@dcsirish.com.
And, if you would like for your child to attend one of our five SCHOOLS for 2025-2026, mark your calendars. Dublin City Schools’ 2025-2026 Open Enrollment will be kicking off on Saturday, February 22nd. Our Early Bird Enrollment will provide families with the opportunity to register their child (Pre-K through 12th Grade) without having to take off work. Then, we’ll begin our traditional in-person enrollment at Central Registration starting on Monday, February 24th.
