Senior: Signature School is an IB Charter school in Evansville, Indiana. Many alumni's always come back and comment on how Signature School has definitely prepared them for college. At Sig, we take college-level courses which are taught by amazing teachers who strive to prepare their students for the real world ahead of them. The environment is very diverse with students from different backgrounds, cultures, and religions. It is a small school, so everyone will feel like family over time.

Culver Academies

• Private School
• Culver, IN
• 9-12
• 90 reviews

Parent: Culver Academies is private boarding school located on the shores of beautiful Lake Maxinkuckee in the heartland of central Indiana. It is an extraordinary campus that rivals many college campuses. In addition to exemplary academics, Culver focuses on leadership and character development and prepares its students for college and life beyond in ways that a traditional public school never could. Culver has more athletic offerings than about any other high school in the United States, including hockey, lacrosse, rowing, sailing, equestrian, fencing, etc. Many of Culver's facilities are world class, including the tennis, hockey and rowing centers.

We currently have three students at Culver and plan to send our fourth child there as well. We can't begin to express how our experience at Culver has impacted all of our lives and would highly recommend this amazing institution to anyone looking for an exceptional boarding school experience for their children.

West Lafayette Junior/Senior High School

• West Lafayette Community School Corporation, IN
• 7-12
• 162 reviews

Senior: I’ve had an good overall experience with West Lafayette Jr/Sr High School. The classes are very challenging, but they are also very helpful for college. The teachers are all very kind and always willing to help. One of my favorite things about this school is the diversity. You will find people from all over the world who come here to learn. It’s a great atmosphere with many opportunities to push yourself. The only thing I would change is the food quality and the level of stress. The food is always the same every week, so it gets tiring. The amount of stress that students have needs to be addressed more often here as well. Students have so much pressure to do well that it can be overwhelming. But overall, it’s a great school in Indiana to be a part of.

Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities

• Public School
• Muncie, IN
• 10-12
• 323 reviews

Senior: The Indiana Academy for Science Mathematics, and Humanities has provided the best opportunities for me! I have had access to classes here that I never would have at my old school. The cirriculum is challenging but it well prepared me for college! The teachers are amazing and professional in their courses! The only think I would change at this school would be the unorganization. The school can be unorganized with convocations and information.

Canterbury School

• Private School
• Fort Wayne, IN
• PK, K-12
• 84 reviews

Senior: Canterbury School is most definitely a school of opportunity. Although tuition starts at a high price and the acceptance rate is lower than average, the work put into getting it is worthwhile. The relationships built there are one-of-a-kind, and the students receive high-end college preparation, especially seen in essay-writing and the college application process, as teachers walk them through every step. Canterbury also offers an all-inclusive environment with no-cut policies in all Fine Arts and Sports teams, making sure every student is included and has the opportunity to be in whatever extracurricular they want, even with no experience in it whatsoever. Allowing students to be part of the school community in all aspects, Canterbury definitely fulfills its belief in making its students artists, athletes, and scholars.

Park Tudor School

• Private School
• Indianapolis, IN
• PK, K-12
• 76 reviews

Senior: I came to Park Tudor as a freshman, expecting rigorous academics that would prepare me for college. My expectations were readily met, and I have been challenged, both by peers and by educators, which has resulted in my success. However amazing their academics are, the sports program is a little bit lacking, which makes sense considering how small of a school Park Tudor is. The clubs/activities are really fun in general, but they are not that diverse and there is not that many, which is also because of the relatively small student body.

Carmel High School

• Carmel Clay Schools, IN
• 9-12
• 979 reviews

Senior: Carmel is, overall, an absolutely fantastic school. To deny that is to be ignorant of everything it provides and the privileges it gives to it’s students. And while it’s evident just how wonderful the education and opportunities are at Carmel, there’s much that can be bettered, if not completely changed. Many are little things, and they don’t take away completely from the shine that Carmel so knowingly exudes. But they full the school, none the less. It could do for a better councilor system, and a better handling in their anonymous reports (Or reports from students and parents in general). The school is wonderful, and the education it’s provided me is something I have to remind myself constantly that many dream to have. But like all things, it’s not perfect!

Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School

• Private School
• Indianapolis, IN
• 9-12
• 98 reviews

Senior: Brebeuf is a good fit for students who are self-motivated. Students learn to manage their time with the modular schedule, which will be useful in college. Brebeuf students also have the opportunity to get to know teachers very well thanks to the small class sizes. The social studies department is fantastic! The math department is not. If you are not a math whiz, you are going to struggle the entire four years. There are plenty of clubs and teams you can participate in as well as a number of summer programs. The counselors at Brebeuf are very helpful as well. Each student is assigned both an academic counselor and a college counselor, which is wonderful. Knowing that you have the same person all four years to help you reach to college goals is great.

University High School of Indiana

• Private School
• Carmel, IN
• 9-12
• 48 reviews

Freshman: University High School of Indiana is a great school with an excellent, friendly atmosphere. The school is not large in size, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in everything else. Even though I have only been attending University for a few months, I have enjoyed it much more than I have ever enjoyed school. The workload is not overwhelming, and they are always available if anyone needs help understanding anything. The staff is even available after school if students need assistance. University High School pushes its students to excel, which has been truly motivational and inspirational.

International School of Indiana

• Private School
• Indianapolis, IN
• PK, K-12
• 79 reviews

Parent: The majority of teachers are wonderful and devoted, though there are a few who are completely mailing it in (and everyone seems to know and accept this for certain grades). The administration is a disaster, and honestly the key element holding the school back from being what it could be. Once a few key relics who have been hanging on since the early days and are essentially just waiting out the retirement clock finally cash out we can hopefully find a way to replace them with people who know what they are doing, show up to work most days, and are interested in not just chugging along on the easiest path, but pushing to make the school as great as it could be! Also, the "only twenty years old" excuse is wearing thin... it's actually kind of a long time in the scheme of establishing private schools in terms of their relative successes and resulting financial solvency.

Trinity School at Greenlawn

• Private School
• South Bend, IN
• 7-12
• 12 reviews

Senior: At Trinity, there is an average of 16-1 student to teacher ratio. This allows all the students to get any attention they need. Also, the teachers are always willing to help in any way they can, in or out of the classroom.
The building is a little old but is not bad. It has "character" you might say.
Over all, the school is great, the curriculum inspires a love of learning, the teachers are experienced and helpful, and the classes are fantastic.

Zionsville Community High School

• Zionsville Community Schools, IN
• 9-12
• 370 reviews

Alum: ZCHS is a wonderful school for students of all interests and passions. The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and pushes students to do their best. Additionally, there are clubs, activities, and courses to suit anyone wanting to become involved in their school or community. The biggest issue I have with Zionsville Community High School is the toxic culture of pressure on students to do exceptionally well academically and get into the best colleges, because not all students thrive in that type of environment. However, I know that the faculty has the students' best interests at heart and simply want them to succeed.
