Our Partner Schools
Independent schools. Shared commitment.
Trusted support that respects school independence.
Indiana Charters is a trusted strategic and operational partner to five independent public charter schools. We work alongside school boards and leaders to build capacity, solve operational challenges, and strengthen long-term sustainability.
Unlike an education management organization or management-oriented service provider, Indiana Charters does not operate its partner schools or exercise delegated management authority. Each school is governed by its own nonprofit board and led by its own school leadership team. Indiana Charters provides customized support within an agreed scope of services.
