1) College-Prep Academic Model. Through structured, challenging coursework, IDEA Public Schools focuses on college preparation for all children. In fact, we are on track to send 100% of our seniors to college for the 14th straight year.
2) Sports & After-School Activities. Our athletic programs are competitive and award-winning, instilling in students a strong work ethic, dedication, and accountability. In addition to sports, IDEA offers clubs that span the interests of our students.
3) Family and Community Partnerships. Parents and community members play a vital part in the success of children at our school. This is why we prioritize partnerships with the New Orleans East community.
4) Whole Child Development. One of our many goals is to help children become well-rounded and develop their sense of self. We do this by offering a variety of resources, including on-site social workers.
