Welcome, come discover…

I'm delighted you've decided to look into our innovative autism school. To me, there is no greater personal satisfaction than a successful, satisfied student and family.

As an ever-questing school, we'd love to have a warm relationship with you; please join our circle and embrace the educational opportunities, support, and all that Independence Academy has to offer your student.

I feel privileged to help lead the finest diploma track school in Indiana, specifically developed for students on the Autism Spectrum. We pride ourselves on Expecting Excellence, with our inspiring students, outstanding staff, and supportive community. All of these attributes make our school extremely successful. Our goal is to continue our tradition of delivering a specialized education to students on the spectrum--students that often fall through the cracks, that are overlooked or underserved.

We put student needs above all else, and we have three strategic goals which focus on: improving student academic excellence to ensure every student meets all state high school graduation requirements; is ready for college, career, and independent success opportunities beyond the diploma; and has built an applicable understanding of social, emotional, and life skills.
