Enrollment FAQs

  • Will my child learn the same things that students learn in other schools?

    Yes, our curriculum follows the same State guidelines and standards, our classes cover the same grade level objectives, and students work toward the same academic goals - regardless of the language of instruction.

  • What is a public charter school?

    Charter schools are independently operated public schools that are open to all Indianapolis residents, regardless of their neighborhood, socioeconomic status, academic achievement, or ethnicity. There are no admission tests or tuition fees.

  • Will there be a before and after school program offered?

    Yes.  Before care - 7 AM - 7:45 am

    Aftercare  2:45 - 6 pm

  • Will transportation be provided?

    Yes. Transportation will be provided in Zones 1 and 2 for kindergarten and up.  However, transportation is not provided for the PreK program.

  • How will my child understand if he/she does not speak the second language?

    Teachers use many strategies to make the content understandable, such as visuals, props, manipulatives, facial expressions, gestures, physical movements, and many other instructional techniques. The teachers also repeat vocabulary and concepts and always check for understanding. Teachers do not expect your child to speak the second language right away. The students are not forced to speak the second language, and they are initially allowed to speak English/Spanish. The teacher will restate what your child says to reinforce the connection between the Spanish and English vocabulary or vice versa.

  • How can parents support their child in the program?

    Encourage your child by telling them how proud you are that they are learning a second language. Let your child know you are pleased with their progress. Show them that you value the ability to speak a second language.

  • When will my child become fluent?

    Do not expect your child to start speaking the second language after the first few weeks. They are in the listening phase of their second language development. Your child will become familiar with the vocabulary and then will begin to take the steps to speak the second language. Do NOT compare your child to other DL students. Learning a second language is a five to seven-year process, and each child develops at their rate.
