Why I chose IDEA High School?

We believe our school is great. Hear why students chose IDEA from current students and alumni.

Inside the Classroom

Students engage in multiple types of learning experiences on any given day or class period. Eg., project-based learning with a peer group, virtual learning via adaptive software, independent work (e.g., independent reading or writing), etc. Learning experiences are authentic (real-world) and relevant to students’ interests and aspirations. E.g., a group project may address the essential question, Education can play an important role in shaping individuals’ norms and values. In what way can the content of education contribute to building more sustainable and resilient societies?

Beyond the Classroom

For the Wolves, learning occurs in a variety of settings outside the classroom. This includes travelling abroad, service learning, and learning through paid internships.

The Legacy of the Pack

IDEA opened its doors in August 2015, to students ready to experience learning in a new way. In May of 2019, those same students walked across the stage setting the tone for IDEA with 100% of Seniors enrolled graduating. Watch their journey.
