A New Kind of School for Central Indiana

Education touches every single one of our lives. Whether it's the business owner who blames schools for not training good help to the parent who just wants their child to come home without stories of being teased or even harassed.

I've been dreaming and playing around with the idea of starting a school for over ten years. It wasn't until I discovered the Sudbury model that I finally got serious about it. Just imagine a school full of students who want to be there and get to do what they do best every day.

Failure and disappointment may be a part of life but students will fail and feel disappointed without our help. At Self-Directed Academies students pursue their interests deeply, and in the process develop a great deal of self-awareness, self-reliance, independence, resilience, and responsibility.

If you've ever thought to yourself, "This is what schools should really teach..." then Self-Directed Academies are for your family and community.

Below you'll find our vision, mission, and core values from which we will be establishing the academies, but the school belongs to the community. You're the ones who create it.
