Small by design.
Powerful on purpose.
OUR MISSION
To create and support innovative, personalized microschools that transform education and expand meaningful school choice across Indiana.
OUR VISION
We envision a future where every Hoosier student attends a school that feels like it was designed just for them—because it was.
OUR APPROACH
Every Indiana Microschool Collaborative program follows the same core design principles:
Personalized Pacing: Students move forward when they’re ready, not on a rigid timeline.
Multi-Age Groups: Learners collaborate, lead, and support one another across grade levels.
Career-Connected Learning: Projects, mentorship, and internships build real-world readiness.
Strong Relationships: Small groups mean every student is truly known, supported, and encouraged.
Free & Public: We’re a public charter network. That means no tuition, no admissions interviews, and open access for all Indiana families.
What is a Microschool?
Think of it like a modern one-room schoolhouse. A small learning space in your local community where each student has a personalized learning plan built around their needs, interests, and goals. Each site is designed to reflect the unique needs of the families, educators, and employers in that region.
It’s not about the building. It’s about the people and the purpose.
Who leads IMC?
Indiana Microschool Collaborative is led by experienced educators and community leaders with the shared belief that students deserve a more personalized, more connected learning experience.
Our team has worked in traditional public districts, innovative charter networks, and workforce development. Now we’re bringing those worlds together to build a system of small, powerful schools rooted in community.
