IDEA Public Schools Announces New College Partnership with Occidental College

IDEA Public Schools is excited to announce a new college partnership with Occidental College in Los Angeles, California. The agreement signed between IDEA and Occidental College allows students, staff and alumni the opportunity to pursue multiple paths to higher education. This new alliance also marks the 55th partnership between IDEA Public Schools and universities across the country. The partnership will begin outreach efforts to students starting college in the fall of 2024. 

“Occidental College has a longstanding practice of recruiting talented students from a wide range of backgrounds,” says Maricela L. Martinez, Vice President of Enrollment at Occidental College. “We look forward to partnering with IDEA Public Schools to help their students navigate the college admission process and to share how Occidental’s liberal arts education can prepare them to lead lives of impact.” 

Through IDEA’s college partnership program, students have access to information on partner universities and colleges as they make their selection on where to attend. Partner teams work together to create a collaborative and supportive environment for IDEA students as they continue their educational journey on a college campus. Financial aid education and scholarship opportunities for IDEA students are also included to help students and their families with the expense of college.
