The IDEA Mays Academy’s name represents “Individuals Dedicated to Excellence and Achievement.” The school is a publicly and privately funded charter school providing education from kindergarten through the 12th grade.
It is part of the IDEA Program charter network established in the state of Texas in 2000. Their motto is “No Excuses.” The program was devised by Tom Torkelson and JoAnn Gama in an effort to address deficiencies they believed existed in their local public-school system. Starting from a single after-school program in 1998, IDEA has grown dramatically, serving over 63,000 students at 120 schools in the school year 2020 – 2021.
IDEA Mays Academy has three school levels to address student needs. Academy is for students enrolling in pre-K through the fifth grade. College Prep Middle School is for students enrolling in grades six through eight. College Prep High School is for students enrolling in grades nine through 12. Physical education is a part of the learning environment at IDEA Mays Academy. All students in grades K-12, including those with disabilities, special health-care needs, and in alternative educational settings, will receive an average of 135 minutes per week of physical education for Academy students and 225 minutes per week for College Preparatory students.
