    Why Ideal?


    Friendship Ideal's early learning approach for students in grades pre-K3 to kindergarten is guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy that our children are extraordinarily capable and the world is their classroom.

    Through art, nature, literature, dramatic play, language, writing and music, our Reggio-inspired program nurtures students' innate curiosity, intellect, creativity and self-confidence.

    Filled with joyous exploration and guided by personalized pathways, students make discoveries, learn to solve problems and collaborate, while developing the building blocks that lead to lifelong learning.

    Named after the area in Italy where the concept was developed, Reggio Emilia is a highly- acclaimed early-learning model where children are encouraged to explore our ever-changing world.

    Led by a community of seasoned and supportive teachers, Ideal builds on its early learning program in the elementary (1-4) and middle grades (5-8) to develop knowledgeable, caring, resilient and ethical young scholars.

    Our rigorous academic curriculum builds strong foundations in mathematics, science, social studies, English and language arts along with exposure to foreign language study.

    Project-based learning that takes students out of the classroom to investigate real-world problems is a critical component of the academic day.

    One of our newest elementary and middle school campuses, Friendship Ideal's early learning classrooms are colored by all forms of patterns and expression that spark creativity and foster student inquiry.

    A big picture window leads our littlest learners to their outdoor classroom and garden, where they plant and play as they investigate and learn.

    In 2021, the Ideal campus expansion will include new classrooms, a performing arts theater, gymnasium, innovation lab and digital library.
