Fostering Student Achievement

Partnering with the community to nurture student success

Educational opportunity goes hand in hand with economic security.

That’s why we’re so dedicated to working with community partners to foster K–12 student success and make sure everyone in our community has access to the educational opportunities they deserve. Learn more about how we are engaging in K-12 education.

IU Indianapolis is involved on every level. Our campus hosts yearly academic events, offers classes to students in the community, and works with our neighborhood schools to increase opportunity for everyone.

Promoting community schools

We are proponents of the community school model, and work with partners throughout the metropolitan area to bring more of them to our community.

A community school serves as the hub of its neighborhood, providing needed support services for youth, their families, and neighbors—well beyond the end of the school day.
