IDEA Public Schools believes that each and every child can go to college. Since 2001, IDEA has grown from one school with 150 students to the fastest-growing network of tuition-free, Pre-K-12 public charter schools in the United States. Achieving our mission requires a rigorous academic model, rapid growth plans, and dedicated staff and students. We currently serve 45,000 students at 79 schools across 6 regions, and by 2022 will serve 100,000 students at 173 schools across 10 regions.
