Homeschool your way

Freedom

Enjoy your freedom with IDEA's support.

A group of four young women, two with braided hairstyles and two with straight hair, are standing together in what appears to be a kitchen or living room setting with shelves and decor visible in the background.

At IDEA, our guiding philosophy is clear and simple: We believe you know your child best. That means our job is to give you whatever tools and support you need, and then let you direct your child’s education. We're here when you need us, hands off if you don't—it's the best of both worlds.

Learn How IDEA Works

Community

Find your homeschool community.

A group of young people, some sitting and some standing, are gathered around a large colorful painting or drawing on the ground, engaged in what appears to be a collaborative creative activity in an outdoor setting with a fence and trees visible in the background.
Three young people, two boys and one girl, are intently working on a project together, surrounded by a futuristic-looking environment with glowing rings overhead.

With offices all over the state, there’s no shortage of activities, clubs, and resources for IDEA families, including access to Alaska's largest network of homeschoolers like you. Our contact teachers are homeschooling parents too, and they are here to help you on your homeschooling journey while respecting your role as director of your child's education.
