At Chimney Lakes, students grow into confident, curious problem-solvers ready to succeed in a connected world, and parents are proud to be part of it. 

Gifted Program

Chimney Lakes Elementary offers a Gifted program available to students who test and qualify. Our program recognizes the unique skills of gifted students, making sure they're being appropriately challenged and developed.

International STEAM Program

International STEAM schools interweave science, technology, math, engineering and the arts into a curriculum for students to make meaningful connections between the disciplines. We also bring diverse cultures and international best practices into our teaching and learning. A big portion of our learning takes place in teams, which means our students need to communicate and collaborate with each other to explore new ideas, think creatively and critically, and solve complex problems with innovative solutions together.

Safety Net Opportunities

Chimney Lakes has many resources available for students who need additional help. This includes reading and math materials available for parents to use at home with their students. Third, fourth, and fifth graders can also participate in Ramp-Up Camp, which provides students with extra tutoring to help prepare them for the FSA.
