IDEA's Twilight Academy is designed to improve student achievement through extended day programming that provides a variety of learning opportunities.
To be eligible for Twilight Academy classes, scholars must be currently enrolled at IDEA and may not have a history of altercations during the current school year. All applications will be subject to review by the administrative team.
Participating scholars stay at IDEA after the regular school day to take classes that begin at 4 pm. All participating scholars receive a light snack or supper at 3:30 so they are physically and mentally ready for the classes.
The Safe Passage shuttle bus drops off scholars at the locations listed below. If you have any questions or safety concerns, please email [email protected].
