Job Description
Idaho Arts Charter School
Idaho Arts Charter School (IACS) was envisioned by a committed group of founding parents in 2003
because of a need for high quality college preparatory offerings with a focus on the arts. The vision of the
IACS founders was to create a school that was highly engaging for students using the arts as the conduit
for that engagement. At the time many schools were cutting arts programs and the founders were among
a group of concerned parents. They wanted to design a school where the arts would be in the forefront
giving students a space to create and explore their personal talents. Our mission statement is Engaged
learning through the Arts and we continue to expand on this every year.
IACS opened in 2005 serving 450 students across grades K10 growing into a K12 school. Every year
since IACS has maintained a robust waitlist. Families in the Nampa community and surrounding area
want an alternative to traditional public school.
In order to meet this need IACS has expanded several times and currently serves approximately 1300
students across grades K12 on two campuses. Over the next few years the growth is expected to
continue to a maximum capacity of 1560 students.
