IDEA Academy Verified listing

IDEA is a modern, innovative alternative to mainstream education.

Times have changed, and education is changing too. IDEA is an academy for young people who are seeking a more relevant and real world education. We work with the young people the world desperately needs – innovative leaders, changemakers and creatives.

IDEA is an alternative option to mainstream education for young creatives, innovators and entrepreneurs. We are an academy for senior secondary aged students and recent school leavers. We work with our global and local networks to arrange portfolio-based pathways to university, training and employment driven by your individual interests.

As you enter your final years of formal education and begin the transition to life beyond school, you will need the tools to thrive in an increasingly digital, globally connected society. IDEA embeds you in an innovative, real world work setting. You will graduate prepared to collaborate and innovate on the economic world stage.

We offer a supportive environment and take an individualised approach to help you explore your passions and unlock your potential. We recognise that a one-size-fits-all education model does not work for all students. Underpinning our program is a case-managed approach, driven by your interests and passions. We support you to find your reason for being and establish self management skills to ensure a thriving adult life.

We support you to transition into adulthood with confidence and contemporary credentials.

IDEA is part of an education ecosystem with young people at the core. You will build a personal network by connecting with IDEA’s international community of mentors and champions. We create a pipeline of opportunity, supporting you to successfully navigate post-school transitions. We broker your pathways to university, training and employment.
