Commitment to Excellence
We do one thing, and we do it with excellence and accountability; providing a well rounded education to gifted students with a focus on the whole child. We meet each student where they are and discover their highest potential together.
We only hire the very best teachers who are accomplished learners themselves, highly qualified in their subject areas, certified to work with the unique needs of gifted students, and who have a heart for our mission.
We continually measure our performance against external standards such as the Indiana Academic Standards and the National Association for Gifted Children Gifted Programming Standards.
On August 1st, 2018, the Indiana State Board of Education unanimously voted in favor of state accreditation for the Apogee School, so you can be assured of the quality of our school.
To ensure we’re doing the absolute best we can for your child, our teachers are actively identify and pursue areas of growth and improvement so we can reach our highest potential just like our students.
Family Culture
We are a community of learners. Our teachers are continually expanding their knowledge within their content areas so they can teach concepts in depth. Our students love going above and beyond what’s in the book with their inquiry. Learning here is truly enjoyed!
Small Learning Communities
Research has shown that achievement, attendance, student involvement, and college acceptance increases when students are taught in small learning communities. We cap our classes at 12 students compared to the Indiana average of 21 in elementary classrooms and 27 in high school classrooms.
We believe that each child should be well known by their teacher and classmates. Small classes allow each student to have a voice, be a part of a democratic process, and to have more focused individual learning opportunities.
Whole Child Education
The Apogee School not only provides an excellent academic foundation, we also intentionally provide support for the unique needs of each gifted child. The majority of the staff is gifted, so we personally understand gifted issues such as sensory, intensity, anxiety, mild twice-exceptional, perfectionism, and how to work well with others. We also understand the positive traits of giftedness such as a need for deep learning, acceleration, and even a unique sense of humor.
Our graduates will be comfortable with themselves and fully prepared for the real world. In grades K-8 we offer “life hacks” classes to learn skills not taught in traditional schools such as how to cook a nutritious homemade meal, how to change a tire on a car, how to work with disagreeable people, how to budget, and what to do in emergencies. Our high school students learn comprehensive business and career preparation skills that prepare them to have a successful future no matter what path they choose.
Affordable
Sending your child to a private school is a big decision, especially when there are so many excellent schools to choose from. One of our priorities is keeping our costs down without sacrificing the quality of education. This helps keep the cost for our families as low as possible.
As a state accredited school, were are able to offer vouchers to over 97% of families during the 2023-2024 school year. Additional features of our financial aid package include Apogee scholarships, SGO scholarships, special education allotment, Community Hero discounts, sibling discounts, and more.
An Apogee School education is financially within reach of every family who needs to be here. We are usually able to make it work if your child needs to be here.
If you’re looking for a quality, private education for your gifted child, we simply can’t be beat!
