Creating the Future Now!

We are rolling full STEAM ahead to an exciting and innovative future for the students of Indianapolis. Our science, technology, engineering, art, and music (STEAM) focused school has had a successful first year of learning and growth. And the best is yet to come! Indy STEAM Academy (ISA) is thrilled to expand to include 6th grade for the 2022-23 school year. 

Since our opening last August, we’ve been proud to watch countless “a ha!” moments of discovery in our students. Whether it’s in our state-of-the-art science laboratory, our tech filled classrooms, the large gymnasium or our joyful playground, Indy STEAM students are growing, learning and having fun on the way to a prosperous future.

Your Child Will Love Coming to School

K-6 students want to be challenged, engaged and to learn exciting new things–and to move! We’ve designed our school day to be hands-on and minds-on to make learning authentic and meaningful.

We offer: 

  • 90 minutes of daily STEAM instruction 
  • LEGO, robotics and coding classes
  • STEM competitions
  • Strong literacy foundation
  • Intramural and competitive athletics
  • Industry visits, field trips & college tours
  • 60 minutes of extra reading and math help built into the day
  • After school programs
  • Transportation

We help students become aware of available STEM careers and provide opportunities to learn through job shadowing, industry visits, and junior internships. Indy STEAM students visit STEM companies to learn what they produce and the roles of engineers and scientists.

Our building is intentionally designed to support our young innovators. Students make great use of our science and engineering labs to create and problem solve. Every classroom is equipped with SmartBoard technology and our highly-qualified teachers are skilled in using technology in the most engaging and effective ways.

You’ll Love Sending Your Child to Indy STEAM

We care about our students and provide a safe, positive and stimulating environment. But don’t just take our word for it, check out what parents are saying about Indy STEAM: 

We decided to enroll our son, Terrence, at Indy STEAM Academy because the school’s mission & vision matched our educational values. He is very creative & talented and we wanted an elementary school that nurtured his passion for the arts & engineering. He is already being prepared for high school, college, and whatever career he chooses. Indy STEAM offers opportunities other schools don’t offer.
