Nationally ranked, tuition-free public schools in Florida.
In 2024, Florida will be home to four IDEA schools.
We serve over 3,500 students between our academy and college prep campuses in grades K – 4 & 6 – 8. We will grow to serve grades K-12 when fully scaled.
Since IDEA’s first graduating class in 2007, 100% of our seniors have been accepted to colleges and universities nationwide.
Through small learning groups and daily access to technology, every student learns at the level and speed just right for them.
Our teachers bring subject matter expertise and an unwavering commitment to set each student on a path to success.
Our school is family. Parents, teachers, and administrators work as a team to help each student reach their full potential.
We are a looking for hard-working, talented individuals to help make college a reality for all children in the Florida region. From the classroom to transportation and everything in between – your work will directly deliver on IDEA’s mission.
