Welcome to La Sombra Academy!
Even the mighty saguaro needs the shade of a tree when it is young
We are excited to announce the opening of a new school opening in the Fall of 26’!
La Sombra envisions a space that can be a hub of community, a source of enrichment, and a beacon of kindness and empathy. We know first-hand how kids can succeed in all facets of personhood under the IDEA teaching model, and we owe it to our students and parents to be able to carry on IDEA’s legacy forward by building on the innovation and love that surrounds our community.
We hope you will join us in reclaiming our educational futures together,
Dalziel and Clint

We have really enjoyed the confidence our child has gained from being in this community and school.”
