Idaho Novus Classical Academy is a tuition-free, K-12 American classical public school which opened in Eagle, Idaho in 2024. Already a Hillsdale College K-12 member school, Idaho Novus Classical Academy’s mission is to train the minds and improve the hearts of students through a classical, content-rich curriculum that emphasizes virtuous living, traditional learning, and civic responsibility. Your support today will help bring a much-needed expansion to our campus, adding classrooms and a gymnasium, which will serve our community for generations to come.
Watch this video to learn more about our school and our vision for our expanded campus:
Enduring Foundations is a fundraising appeal to support Idaho Novus Classical Academy, a school dedicated to providing a tuition-free, public, American classical education to Idaho students in Eagle, Emmett, Horseshoe Bend, and beyond. The name is a nod to the foundations of both Western Civilization and to the founding of our Republic. To fulfill our lofty mission, we are seeking to expand the literal foundations of our current building for our facility expansion to include both upper school classrooms and a full-size gymnasium. Join us in honoring our historic foundations and support our commitment to form future citizens who uphold the ideals of our country’s founding and promote the continuation of our American experiment. Every gift given to Idaho Novus Classical Academy helps to further this vision.
Contributing to the Enduring Foundations Capital Campaign will provide critical financial support to defer heavy expansion costs associated with a publicly funded charter school in Idaho. Additionally, your contribution will allow Idaho Novus Classical Academy school leaders to focus funds on where they are most needed.
With your support, Idaho Novus Classical Academy will become a beacon of light within the educational landscape of the Treasure Valley.
Check back soon for details and updates on our future campus expansion!
Federal Deductions
The One Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law on July 4, 2025. Starting in 2026, individuals who take the standard deduction (non-itemizers) will now be able to deduct up to $1,000 in charitable contributions ($2,000 for married couples) on their federal taxes. For itemizers, there is now a deduction floor. Only contributions that exceed .5 percent of adjusted gross income will be deductible. Strategic planning will be needed to maximize benefits.

Idaho State Tax Credit *Unique Opportunity*
In addition to federal tax credits applicable to 501c3 organizations, Idaho has a unique tax credit opportunity specifically for contributions to schools: Idaho Statute Title 63 Revenue and Taxation Chapter 30 Income Tax: Section 63-3029A. Under this rule, gifts to Idaho Novus Classical Academy may qualify for a 50% tax credit (a reduction in the actual tax you owe). If you itemize your taxes, a donation to Idaho Novus allows income tax deductions on your state and federal returns, plus a 50% Idaho income tax credit.

Idaho Novus Classical Academy does not provide any tax advice. As such, any potential donor should consult with their tax advisor for details and applicability of the Idaho Education Tax Credit.
