Student technology supports our mission of preparing students for college and beyond.
As schools continue to evolve to meet the needs of modern society, IDEA Public Schools is strengthening its commitment to achieving academic excellence by providing instructional technology resources for all scholars enrolled at IDEA. Our K-12 classrooms are equipped with age-appropriate devices and digital tools to create engaging learning environments. This includes access to Microsoft Office 365 Education apps, individualized learning apps, internet access and technical support.
Scholars can use their IDEA student account to easily login to learning resources using any device and continue learning from home.
IDEA aims to leverage computer access to help students maximize learning opportunities, close the homework gap, and develop skills critical to their success in a technology-centered world. IDEA scholars are issued technology equipment appropriate for their age to support the seamless delivery of quality instruction.

Internet safety is crucial to protect children from the potential risks they may encounter online. At IDEA Public Schools, we are dedicated to providing a secure online learning environment for our students. We also believe it is important for parents and caregivers to take an active role in ensuring their children’s safety. We urge you to have open and honest conversations with your children about responsible online behavior and recommend using parental controls and monitoring tools to limit access to harmful websites and apps. By working together, we can ensure that our children are able to enjoy the benefits of the internet while staying safe.
We know having reliable internet access is essential for learning, communication, and overall well-being. IDEA recommends the FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program to help households afford home internet services.
