Starting in the 2020-2021 school year, Forney ISD will open the Advanced Academics Fine Arts Academy at Blackburn Elementary. This is an exciting addition to our growing K-4 GT & advanced academics offerings.
In February 2020, select kindergarten & 1st-grade students were invited to apply to the academy based on qualification for GT or Advanced services. Academically advanced students that have not been officially identified were also invited to apply. In August of 2020, the academy will open with 1st & 2nd-grade students. These students will receive specialized instruction in fine arts courses, including piano, dance, and theatre. Additionally, students will receive core academic instruction in an accelerated/compacted environment that is tailored to the young GT brain.
Next school year (2021-2022), the academy will grow to include K-3 students and will reach full capacity in the 2022-2023 school year. Watch the video below for an overview of the program.
