Indiana Math & Science Academy North

I enrolled my daughter in Kindergarten the first year that Indiana Math & Science Academy opened on N. Keystone. I was very impressed with their presentation and focus on development of kids who may otherwise fall into an ‘at risk’ or overlooked group. Their emphasis is on math and science, with the goal to prepare all of their students for college. They’re part of the non-​profit Concept charter school system.
While my daughter wasn’t at all at risk, we were selecting her first school after preschool and wanted to start on the right track. I’ve witnessed her develop academically and socially with this very disciplined curriculum. This school requires uniforms, which I appreciate, and is heavy on discipline, but it seems the children respond well to their routine and are eager to excel. She brings home more than the average amount of homework, but is also in honors classes, with a 3.78 GPA.
IMSA North continues to add a grade level each year and will soon be building a high school to meet the needs of their growing student population. They’ve added a new library this year and have many activities that involve the students throughout the year.
I’ve joined my daughter for lunch a few times and disagree with the militant protocol they use. Quite uncomfortable. Outside of that, the teachers are dedicated and my daughter is flourishing. She’ll remain here so long as she is happy and continues to progress.
