Middle School prepares scholars for success in high school and serves as a pivotal moment when many scholars develop their passion and interests. At IDEA, we prioritize the development of the whole child. Sixth grade marks the transition of scholars becoming more resourceful learners who take initiative.
Check out the video below to hear from our students and find out what they appreciate most from our team & family.
Our scholars engage in intensive study of different topics through the use of carefully selected texts. Students engage with in-depth text analysis and cross-curricular activities that reference literature, visual media, art, social students, and science.
"Building a strong work ethic will get me to a better college. College Prep is harder, and it's worth it. The teachers challenge me a lot, but this will get me to a better place. "

"My goal is to make each of my lessons fun and engaging. I strive to incorporate what I call the 'joy factor' and aim to make them laugh every day. I want my scholars to feel safe and comfortable in my classroom, so they can truly enjoy the process of learning."
