IDEA
Invention and Design Educational Academy

"Respect, responsibility, relationships, high expectations"

From automobiles to lasers, televisions to zippers, inventions and new designs make our lives more comfortable, stimulating and efficient.  The Invention and Design Educational Academy (IDEA) provides students with personalized opportunities to explore their community, country, and world, as well as their own lives as shaped by new inventions and technology. We provide students with the opportunity to work on real world and inquiry-oriented projects throughout the college preparatory curriculum in a smaller, more personalized learning environment.

Students can take advantage of special features offered at IDEA, including:

• Daily student advisory
• Science fairs
• Academic competitions
• Clubs and internships
• Experiential excursions
• Organization tutorial
• Student leadership
• Gifted and talented (GATE) program

At IDEA, each student can explore his or her interest and curiosity while receiving the highest standard of education possible.  We are reinventing education to meet student needs.
