Our Approach

THE OPPORTUNITY GAP

Every child can and will succeed if given the opportunity.

No student’s potential should be limited by the color of their skin, where they live or household income.

IDEA Public Schools is committed to a vision of College For All Children.

Through our unique curriculum and our college support model comprising people, programs, and culture, we are closing the opportunity gap and increasing levels of achievement by preparing students from underserved communities for success in college and citizenship.

For the past thirteen years, since our students have started graduating from high school, 100% of our students have been accepted to college.

In the past seven years, our average ACT score has increased from 17 to 21.5.

4,000

IDEA PREPARES ALL STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE AND BEYOND.

IDEA Public Schools’ approach to education is focused on college preparation for all children. Our elementary curriculum includes a hybrid learning model known as BetterIDEA, in which all elementary students participate. Our college prep curriculum focuses on college preparation across all subjects.
