Philosophy

Our mission is to empower young minds to understand and improve the world.

Our educational philosophy is to house a learning community that is based on the following principles and ideas:
  • Empowering and growing self-motivation in each child.
  • Challenging gifted students with an advanced science and mathematics curriculum.
  • Providing a well-rounded education that incorporates the humanities, as well as the arts.
  • Offering a university model for curriculum where students help design their schedule, choosing from required core classes and a diverse set of electives with the help of an adviser.
  • Supporting each child with a collegial environment where students are treated as colleagues and we learn together.
  • Delivering project-based learning that focuses on student output and application of knowledge based on each student's strengths.
  • Creating a foundation of trust that is based on a community honor code and a culture of acceptance and shared responsibility.
  • Involving ourselves and students in service to the community and being part of the community fabric.
  • Emphasizing our connection to the world through outdoor experiences and environmental education.

Ideaventions Academy features:
  • Gifted education focusing on science and mathematics.
  • Warm and comfortable learning spaces with small, community feel.
  • Challenging curriculum that uses hands-on and project-based learning methods.
  • Small class sizes; 10 students or less per class.
  • Engaging faculty with backgrounds in the field they teach and a passion for teaching children.
  • Science and technology laboratories with equipment to support student projects and research.
  • Partnerships with industry and government to provide students with access to world-class opportunities and experiences.
