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. ACE 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 ACE 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 ACE 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 ACE 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 4:00 PM (and until 1:00 PM on Fridays), offering flexibility to families.

For families who need before-school care, we offer on-campus programming powered by Ivy Camps USA, starting as early as 6:30 AM.

In addition, several local centers provide transportation to ACE Prep, including:

• Jasmine’s – 10451 Bradford St.

• Precious Moments – 9425 E. 30th Street

• Children of America – 10830 Pendleton Pike

If you have children attending both ACE Prep and Circle City Prep, Ivy Camps USA also provides transportation between campuses to support your family’s schedule.

For after-school care, Ivy Camps continues to offer engaging, on-campus programming until 6:00 PM.

We also partner with the Finish Line Boys & Girls Club (at 38th and Post), which offers free transportation from ACE Prep Monday–Thursday, with after-care available for just $25 for the entire year.

Looking to organize a carpool? We’re happy to connect you with other families in your neighborhood—just reach out, and we’ll help find the best fit.

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

The ACE 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.
