Description: Welcome to IDEA, an alternative education option for young people aged 15+ who are seeking more than the status quo.
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.
Education systems need to prepare students for their future, rather than for our past. The rolling processes of automation…have radically altered the nature of work and life and thus the skills that are needed for success. – Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills
