Discover the Benefits of a Classical, Christian, University-Schedule Private School on the north side of Indianapolis
Now Enrolling Pre-Kindergarten-12th Grade for Fall 2023
The Classical Academy is a fast growing classical, Christian, university-schedule private school serving the greater Indianapolis area. Our innovative collaborative model allows parents to participate in their children's education while retaining all of the benefits of a school community, at a fraction of the cost of a traditional five-day school.
The Classical Academy provides a full 5-day academic program with 2-3 days (depending on grade) in the central school classroom and the remaining days at home. There is one joint curriculum provided by the school. The Classical Academy educational model is a unique blend of the best of professional teachers and classroom learning and the best of family life- more time at home, more time for hobbies, talents, and interests, less rigid time constraints of a traditional school model, and less stress and planning from a purely homeschooling model. Families at The Classical Academy benefit from a high quality, classical, Christian education at half the cost of a full five-day program while giving back the gift of time to our children and families.
Our Classical Beginnings Preschool meets twice a week from 8am to 1pm. The at-home Pre-Kindergarten work on the other days is given as optional.
Our purpose at The Classical Academy is to equip students to be lifelong learners.
We seek to partner with families by providing a distinctive Christian education, utilizing classical methodology and content, with a university-type schedule. On-campus classes meet two days per week, (7th-8th grade meeting 2 1/2 days) with at-home learning occurring on alternating days. For enrollment beginning for Fall of 2019, The Classical Academy offers classes for Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade and will add additional grades each year until we graduate our first class.

Distinctive qualities:
- Christian Worldview - The school is Christ-centered. We aim to partner with parents to instill excellence of character and fill our children with Godly wisdom. We seek to provide an environment where children can celebrate the commonalities of the Christian faith. All of The Classical Academy's board members, administrative staff and faculty ascribe to our Statement of Faith. We acknowledge Christ as both Source and Goal of all creation and history, and the Center of any discussion of truth, beauty, and goodness.
- University Schedule - Children are with a trained, professional teacher in a classroom setting for 2 days a week, (2 1/2 days a week in 7th-8th grade). On alternating days, students are given detailed assignments which are to be completed at-home under the guidance of their parents. This encompasses their whole education. School and home have one joint curriculum.
- Classical Curriculum - We follow an academically rigorous methodology that is based on the Trivium. It uses proven teaching methods which correlate with the child’s natural developmental stages (Grammar, Logic, & Rhetoric Stages), giving the child a broad liberal arts education.
- Cost Effective Tuition - Tuition at a university-schedule school is about 40% of typical private school tuition (see Tuitions and Fees page for details). Payment options include monthly, semester and pay-at-once.
