Ideaventions Academy For Mathematics And Science

Ideaventions Academy emphasizes advanced, rigorous academics for gifted, intellectually curious students, delivered in intentionally small classes and a joyful, challenging environment. Their approach centers on fun, engaging, hands-on and experiential learning with projects, lab experiences/research, and lively class discussion, while also developing character, responsibility, communication skills, and a growth mindset.

Ideaventions Academy directs families to begin with an inquiry and application through the Ravenna platform, which also provides access to pre-recorded information-session videos and event registration; they ask families to attend a parent tour before applying. (ideaventionsacademy.org) To become an “official applicant,” parents submit the Ravenna application and a $75 fee, then complete remaining components such as cognitive/IQ testing (generally aiming for ~130+; tests must be within 36 months), two teacher recommendations, recent plus prior-year report cards (and attendance), and any IEP/504/evaluation documentation. (ideaventionsacademy.org) After all required items are received, an admissions committee reviews fit; competitive applicants may be invited to a student visit day (with observations and written/math assessments) and then a parent interview (both by invitation). (ideaventionsacademy.org) Admissions decisions are stated as being made within one week after the parent interview, and because the Priority Deadline for Fall 2026 has passed, they report accepting applications on a space-available rolling basis. (ideaventionsacademy.org) For key dates/events listed for the Fall 2026 cycle, the site shows an Open House on February 21, 2026 (10am–noon), parent tour dates in March 2026 (including March 3/10/17/24), and complimentary CogAT testing on February 21, 2026 for official applicants (space limited); the website does not describe a waitlist process or any admissions priority categories beyond referencing a “Priority Deadline.” (ideaventionsacademy.org)
