Belong. Believe. Achieve.

A Tuition-Free Public School Alternative for Students in Grades 6–12 with In-Person and Online Schools Across Indiana

Granting Every Learner the Option to Succeed

Is your student feeling uninspired or disconnected in the classroom, or lost in a large campus with hundreds of students? Are they in need of a clean slate to work towards their goals? Large, traditional schools are often unable to provide a relationship-based approach & prevent students from falling through the cracks — that isn’t something that happens at Options Schools.

Here, we believe all learners deserve to benefit from the individualized educational experience needed to achieve their full potential. Students can choose from brick and mortar campuses in central, north-central, and northwest Indiana, or a flexible, established online program, along with additional campus programs serving students in all 92 counties in the state of Indiana.

Options is accredited by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and AdvancED, with select programs also accredited by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)

With a high-quality, individualized approach,
OPTIONS specializes in providing students with unparalleled
support & an inclusive environment, SINCE 2002!

As an accredited public school, we are proud to provide the personalized, hands-on approach of a private school at no cost. Above all, we believe in equity and diversity, both in-person and in virtual learning environments.
