Reaching High: Academic & Behavior Excellence
At Indy STEAM Academy:
We believe in the bright futures of our students.
We believe that all students, especially those from underrepresented minorities, can achieve.
We believe that the high-wage STEM jobs of the future are waiting for our students.
We believe in equal access to a free quality education.
We believe that failure is NOT an option.
Our mission is our promise to students, parents, and the community: to nurture the academic and creative talents of students through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) learning. We build a strong literacy foundation and prepare them for high school, college, and careers in a 21st century global workforce.
Academic Excellence
Beginning in Kindergarten, we dedicate our time to high quality instruction and 21st century foundational skills that will give students an advantage in the future. Here’s how we do it:
- 60 minutes of success time personalized to individual areas of improvement
- 15:1 student to teacher ratio
- 90 minutes of daily instruction in reading, math and science
- Longer school year and longer school day
- After school tutoring
- Homework Help
- Summer School
- Highly Qualified Teachers & Classroom Assistants
Strong Character
Our K-6 school enjoys the benefit of a positive culture built on strong relationships and Core Values. These relationships are the foundation of our character development program that is centered on the Six Pillars of Character: Trust, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
Our Core Values are our moral compass and represent the foundation for everything we do at Indy STEAM Academy. Our teachers incorporate lessons on character development into their daily teaching and our values are woven throughout all of our school rules and routines.
Our K-6 school has fewer discipline and behavior problems than traditional schools thanks to our small, community culture. Fewer behavior issues means less time pulled away from academics. Higher grades and greater involvement in extracurriculars like sports and performing arts, are a pretty great benefit, too.
The sky’s the limit for our bright and tenacious K-6 students. Indy STEAM is paving the way for our students to be life-long learners, economically self-sufficient, and productive citizens in our communities. Join us and discover the wonderful places a tuition-free Indy STEAM Academy education can take your child.
