An academy for young innovators, entrepreneurs and creatives
Welcome to the future of education
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.
IDEA is an academy for young innovators, entrepreneurs and creatives, aged 15 – 21 years. We offer bespoke, portfolio-based education programs in a blended learning environment that delivers nationally recognised credentials in an innovative, co-working setting in Perth CBD.
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. We broker pathways to university, further education and training and employment, supporting young people to design their future with confidence.
Students can choose to attend our full-time academy, our part-time Future Ready academy or access our wraparound Pathways program that offers tailored advice, guidance and pathway brokering to support young people as they transition beyond school.
Learners as creators really goes to the core of the mission of education: To develop independent, robust citizens of the future.

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.
