This forum is for families enrolled in Idaho Distance Education Academy (I-DEA) or families who are considering enrolling with IDEA. The mission of this group is to provide resources and support to parents who have elected to educate their children in the home, but still be a part of a charter organization.

This is NOT the official school sponsored group, that is "PENpalsI-DEA." This forum is set up by parents who are NOT community coordinators and have no direct connection to the school. This allows open, honest communication about the good and the bad. It is not moderated, like the other group, and will allow concerns and problems to be discussed! It allows families to ask questions of others not enrolled in IDEA.

This group is for support, information, and ways to encourage IDEA families in their homeschooling efforts.

This group is for all current or new IDEA members.

Key words: www.idahoidea.org, I-DEA, IDEA, Idaho, home school, homeschool, homeschooling, Boise, virtual school
