Who we are

SENSE Charter School, located in southeast Indianapolis, Indiana, hosts grades K-8. SENSE staff is determined to facilitate learning experiences for the whole child. We believe that by supporting our students socially, emotionally, and academically, they become agile learners. SENSE Charter School classroom settings allow for individualized attention. SENSE provides an extended day, extended year format with opportunities for before school care. Kindergarten is all-day.

Building upon a rigorous curriculum based on the Indiana Academic and Core Curricular Standards, we hope to inspire a love of learning in our students. We believe that children are future leaders who will fully engage in, and positively impact, their local community and beyond. By giving them voice, responsibility, and collaborative choice in their learning environment, we are certain that SENSE students receive a solid skill foundation for educational success. As a community school, it is our goal to connect our students to the world around them. Our partnerships with IUPUI, University of Indianapolis, and Purdue University provide shared learning experiences for SENSE staff and students as well as creating positive field experiences for future teachers.
