Finding school dates and updates.
The interactive calendar brings proposed activities together by month and event type. Every current entry is labeled provisional. Confirm arrangements with the school before making travel or attendance plans.
For time-sensitive school information, use the communication method confirmed by the office. An undated guide on this website should not be treated as a closure announcement, an individual appointment, or a new policy.

The parent and student hubs are public guides. They provide practical information and links, without requiring a sign-in. For access to any school-managed learning, records, or communication system, request instructions directly from the school office.
Parent & guardian resources Student resourcesAbout this website.
The site provides public information about Ideal’s program and practical planning guides. Examples of projects are identified as examples. Invented news features are labeled “Sample school story” and describe imagined events, not confirmed school activities. Stock photographs and video illustrate learning themes and do not depict Ideal students or facilities; credits appear in the footer.
Search runs within this website. Checklist progress is stored in your browser on this device; the checklist does not send entries to the school. Use “Reset checklist” to clear that saved progress. Directions and Street View use Google services, whose own terms and privacy practices apply.
The welcome card asks this website for an approximate US state based on the connection information already available to our hosting network. It does not contact an additional IP-location provider or request GPS access. The response contains only a country code and a state or district code when available. Only whether you have seen the card is saved in this tab’s session storage. The detected state is not manually selectable and is looked up again when you reopen the card. The card does not save the IP address, coordinates, or lookup response. VPNs and mobile networks may give an incorrect result. Dismiss the card with the × button; reopen it from “Your welcome card” in the footer. A general welcome appears when a state cannot be found. Landmark photos include source and license links within the card.
School records and personal documents should be shared only through a method confirmed by staff. To report an incorrect detail or difficulty accessing information, contact the school office.
A CLOSER LOOK
Use the guides together
The school guides connect the big picture with practical decisions. Begin with academics and student life to understand the program, then use admissions, tuition, and visiting information to plan a conversation. Current families can move directly to daily arrangements, support, contacts, and student resources.
Public information cannot answer every individual question. Confirm arrangements that affect enrollment, financial commitments, attendance, and student support directly with the school. Where dates are marked proposed, treat them as planning placeholders. The website is a public guide and does not replace an enrollment agreement or individualized school communication.
