IDEA Public Charter School prepares students with the academic, social, leadership, and occupational skills for postsecondary opportunities and responsible citizenship. Our program prepares students for college and careers through rigorous coursework and robust extra-curricular opportunities. Students explore career pathways as freshmen and select from one of the five career academies to pursue between Grades 10-12: child development, computer science, construction, business management, and cosmetology. Students earn industry-recognized credentials and work-based learning opportunities, including internships and apprenticeships.
