Over the past 64 years, IDS has been a leader in academic excellence and experiential education with year round programming. What this means is that students are actively engaged in the learning process through inquiry, creativity, and innovation inside the classroom and extends beyond our campus. Students ask questions, challenge ideas, create new ways of understanding the world around them, and develop the skills necessary to engage in an ever-changing world.
