​Our Academics

Learning experiences at Ideaventions Academy capture student interest through hands-on work, authentic research, independent projects, self-paced learning experiences, lively debates and discussions, and both project and problem-based learning.  We feature a world-class, advanced STEM-based curriculum focused on research and innovation, including full-year engineering and computer science beginning in our lowest grade, 4th grade.
 
Ideaventions Academy students have had success in a wide variety of learning experiences, but generally, the most successful ones have been the ones with real-world applications.  These experiences have resulted in increased student engagement and an emotional connection to their learning experience, resulting in improved learning outcomes and excitement about learning.
