About Ignite Institute
The Ignite Institute is Northern Kentucky's first regional public school, a high school that grew from a vision Toyota and Boone County Schools developed in 2016, with Kenton County Schools joining as a partner in 2018. Our students, whom we call scholars, attend one of our career-focused colleges for the full day: Allied Health and Biomedical Sciences, Computer Science, Design, Education or Engineering.
Within their college, scholars take a career elective along with English, math, science, social studies and world language, earning the same credits their home high school requires. Our week runs on three Core Curriculum days and two Production days, when scholars and teachers work with business partners on mentorship, real-world projects and workforce training. Each scholar can spend more than 400 hours with regional companies before graduation, and dual credit courses through partner colleges let scholars work toward an associate degree.
Our counselors help with academics and college and career planning. Each spring we host the Maker Expo, with STEAM challenges for K-12 students, an artist market and a camps fair, and we run the NKY Makerspace.
