Idaho Arts Charter School has purchased the historic Lakeview School and have beautifully rennovated the historic school and built a 20,000 square foot addition to accommodate our K-12 student body! Thank you Mussell Construction and Rick Bugatsch, AIA!
Idaho Arts Charter School (IACS) opened its doors on August 29th, 2005 with over 500 students in attendance. Our current 2008 - 2009 enrollment serves 541 students in grades K - 12 with a waiting list equal to our enrollment.
IACS differs from traditional public schools by integrating a rigorous arts and academic curriculum utilizing focused investigations to enhance the educational experience. All students receive instruction in piano keyboarding, dance, theatre arts, vocal technique, instrumental (band and orchestra) technique and visual arts.
The school is tuition free, donation dependent and no student is admitted or denied based on financial capacity. 52% of the school's 541 students are on free or reduced lunches.
The traditional core curriculum areas--language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies--are strongly emphasized through an integrated arts approach using focused investigations. The school seeks to develop an educated and caring citizenry for the 21st century.
