IMPACT
MAGAZINE
OUR CORE VALUES
This issue highlights our core values and the incredible Team & Family members who represent them every day.
IMPACT Magazine is a digital publication for IDEA students, staff, families, and supporters. Read on to meet individuals who embody our core values and seek to model them in their lives and work: a student who finds joy in writing, philanthropists who care for other children’s success like their own kids, a mother with high expectations for her child’s school, a community leader advocating for educational excellence in her city, a team of educators committed to expanding opportunities for young people of all abilities, and inspiring IDEA students and graduates who are pursuing their dreams of a college diploma. We are grateful to all of them for sharing their stories — and to you for being part of the IDEA community.
