Every child deserves to wake up excited for school. But the truth is, one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to learning. Some students thrive in big classrooms, while others do best in smaller settings. Some want a hands-on STEM program, while others need a school culture that feels like family.
That’s where Indiana’s public charter schools come in.
Charters are free, public, and open to all. More importantly, they give families options so students can find a school where they feel known, challenged, and supported. Across Indiana, thousands of families have discovered that the right fit can change everything.
Take Paramount Schools of Excellence, where students dive into STEM projects as early as elementary school. Or Herron High School, where classical education and the arts spark curiosity and confidence. At 21st Century Charter School in Gary, students are not only graduating at high rates—they’re earning college credits while still in high school.
These aren’t isolated stories. They’re everyday examples of what happens when students have access to schools designed to meet their needs. Research shows that when kids feel like they belong in their school community, their attendance, achievement, and love of learning all increase.
Families aren’t choosing sides. They’re choosing success for their kids.
When we invest in strong public schools, we give every Indiana student the chance to find their fit and thrive.
Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about systems. It’s about students. And every student deserves a school that works for them.
