IDEAcademy is an alternative to high school for young creatives, innovators and entrepreneurs who think differently. We work with our networks to arrange portfolio-based pathways to university, training and employment driven by students’ personal interests.
IDEA is an academy for young innovators, creatives and entrepreneurs aged 15 – 18 years. We provide a hybrid education model for a new generation of learners, designed to be interest driven, flexible and immersed in the real world.
Our program is a vocational alternative to mainstream school and culminates in each young person developing a comprehensive portfolio of experiences and nationally recognised credentials. The IDEA portfolio becomes a student’s ticket to university, further education and training, and employment.
IDEA operates out of a network of co-learning hubs where students can connect with peers and mentors and work on collaborative projects. Our co-learning hubs offer the face to face cohort, networks and culture that young people also crave. These hubs do for education what coworking has done for the workplace, offering a personalised experience in a high care work-like environment.
