CIRCLE CITYPREP

Charter schools are tuition-free, open enrollment public schools. We have no district or catchment zones but instead can enroll any student who lives in Indiana. Charter schools have increased autonomy, ability to make curricular, financial, and hiring decisions, and increased accountability. Circle City Prep is authorized by the Indiana Charter School Board.

Any student enrolling in K–8 can attend. Kindergarteners must be 5 years old by September 1, 2026.

We are currently enrolling for grades K–8. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

All members of the Circle City Prep staff and community deeply believe that all our scholars can be on a path to college. We provide a small, academically rigorous environment to ensure that your child is reading and performing math at or above grade-level. Our scholars receive double the amount of literacy instruction and math instruction everyday as well as targeted tutoring during the school day. Our families are all part of our Circle City Prep Family and receive frequent communication from their child’s teacher in addition to home visits before the start of school, in-person conferences and bi-monthly parent university nights and parent action councils. Finally, our scholars participate in daily recess and enrichment classes (art, music, PE) including a weekly yoga practice.

At Circle City Prep, we don’t have buses or provide direct transportation, but we’re here to help you explore a few great options! Our school opens early at 7:30 AM, with classes running until 4 PM (1 PM on Fridays), offering flexibility to families. For those looking for before-school care, Jasmine’s (at 10451 Bradford St.), Precious Moments (at 9425 E. 30th Street), and Children of America (at 10830 Pendleton Pike) offer options with transportation to Circle City Prep. After school, we partner with AYS to provide after-school care at $75 per week. Additionally, through our partnership with the Finish Line Boys & Girls Club (located at 38th and Post), students receive free transportation from our school Monday- Thursday, with after-school care available for only $25 for the entire year!  We’re also happy to help families connect with neighbors to set up carpools. Just reach out, and we’ll support you in finding the best fit for your family!

A strict uniform policy keeps scholars focused on academics. Each grade wears specific Circle City Prep-branded polos with khaki bottoms and closed-toe tennis shoes. School Zone is our uniform vendor; details are on the Uniforms page.

The Circle City Prep school day runs from 7:30am-4:00pm Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, in order to allow our teachers and staff to participate in weekly professional development trainings, our scholars are dismissed at 1pm.

Doors open at 7:30am and scholars are considered tardy if they arrive later than 7:45am.
