Young people are capable of great things
IDEA was designed for today’s young people as a vision for the future of the education system.
We offer portfolio-based education programs for students in years 11 and 12. At IDEA, you will engage in ‘real-world’ learning and access a broad range of work experiences, based on your interests and aspirations. During your time at IDEA, you will be supported by program facilitators and mentors across an international network.
IDEA supports students on their pathway to higher education and work. We support young people to design their own future.
Learners as creators really goes to the core of the mission of education: To develop independent, robust citizens of the future.
Oystein Johannessen Chief Executive, Somna Municipality, Norway
Education is everyone’s business
IDEA is part of an education ecosystem, with learners at the core.
We believe that in order for young people to reach their highest potential, they need to be supported by a community of mentors and champions. We give students access to an international community of businesses, industry, NGOs and higher education providers.
Students explore how their passions, interests and talents can meet the needs of a changing world.
