About Us!

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.

Our commitment to the families and Fountain Square community provides the backdrop for establishing partnerships that support and promote unique educational experiences at SENSE. Whether it’s a walk to Wheeler Arts Community Center for poetry sharing, a walk to Garfield Park or participation in hands on learning experiences at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, SENSE staff embraces opportunities to provide students with real-life study trip experiences.

At SENSE, we believe that the elementary school years shape the rest of our students’ academic lives and prepare them for the variety of learning experiences available after elementary school. Post-attendance at SENSE, our students move on to successful careers in the traditional public, charter, private and virtual school settings.
