PROCEEDS WILL GO TOWARDS

CRADLE TO CAREER MILESTONES:

ELEMENTARY MATH AND LITERACY ACHIEVEMENT Literacy and numeracy are strong predictors of a child’s long-term achievement. Ignite Academy – the very first Cradle to Career solution to come out of the community consultation process – integrates supports that are proven to impact educational achievement. Supports are standardized across all program sites and service provider partners. The solution was co-designed by neighbourhood residents with lived experience, front-line service providers, researchers, and other content experts.

Our Solution
‍
‍Ignite Academy will offer out-of-school programming four days a week to help kids succeed academically while wrapping other supports around kids and their families. Ignite Academy aims to scale up to support up to 360 students across six program sites in grades 2 to 7. Students are referred to the program through participating elementary schools in West Windsor, Downtown Windsor, and Leamington. Schools included are General Brock, Begley, Immaculate Conception, St. James, St. Louis and Queen Elizabeth elementary schools. Student enrollment started in May 2022.
