We’re flipping the educational script. In a world of average outcomes and diminished expectations, ACE Prep stands apart. Since 2016, our Indianapolis K-6 charter has transformed ordinary children into extraordinary scholars who not only dream of college, but have the academic muscle and character backbone to get there. No tuition required—just commitment to excellence. Here are 10 reasons your family should consider joining our school family for 2025-2026:
1. College Dreams Begin in Kindergarten
ACE Prep plants the seeds of college ambition from day one. Our kindergarteners do more than learn letters, they build the foundation for lifelong academic success. Curiosity. Creativity. Courage. With 26 extra school days worth of instruction annually, we create scholars who master essential skills rather than just scratch the surface.
2. Your Child Deserves Personalized Excellence
No child becomes a statistic at ACE Prep. We track every achievement, identify every opportunity, and create individualized action plans to propel students forward. Parents receive clear roadmaps of their child’s educational journey, so there’s no guesswork on how to do better than good.
3. Literacy Transforms Lives
ACE scholars are immersed in 195 minutes of daily literacy instruction. It’s fun. It’s constructive. And it promotes critical and analytical thinking. Our two-teacher model creates intimate learning circles where reading skills flourish under expert guidance. Words become worlds, and worlds become opportunities. Strong readers become unstoppable learners. It’s the ACE Prep way!
4. Character Forges Futures
Bravery. Enthusiasm. Growth. Responsibility. Endurance. Achievement. Team. More than wall decorations, these BE GREAT values pulse through our hallways. We don’t just teach character—we live it, breathe it, celebrate it. Academic genius without strong character limits potential; we refuse to compromise on either.
5. Time Is the Ultimate Currency
We invest more time in your child’s education at ACE, and we do it through our extended calendar. Every additional minute compounds into measurable advantages: faster reading fluency development, deeper mastery of fundamental math concepts, and the quiet confidence that comes from owning academic material rather than merely surviving it.
While maintaining beloved breaks and summer traditions, we simply make better use of classroom hours. The return on this investment is limitless.
6. Small School, Giant Impact
ACE is close-knit. We’re a community within a community, and every teacher knows every child’s name. Our faculty knows their strengths and their challenges, and work to help them overcome whatever might be holding them back. We commit to small group work and 1:1 attention. Staff members become extensions of family, forming an unbreakable support network around your scholar. To go even further, we also help with before and after school care.
7. Beyond Books: Building Complete Children
Art. Athletics. Enrichment. Physical education. ACE Prep nurtures talents beyond academics. Our basketball teams build confidence through teamwork, and understanding that winning is about more than just game day. It’s about the effort you put into training and learning how to work with each other. Our art projects spark creativity. And our extended curriculum creates well-rounded individuals prepared for a complex world that demands more than test scores.
8. Excellence Without Financial Barriers
Indianapolis families deserve a solid education regardless of zip code or income. As a tuition-free public charter school, ACE Prep delivers educational rigor that rivals expensive private institutions. Top tier education, zero tuition.
9. A Village That Raises Scholars
Field trips expand horizons. Service projects build compassion. Family events strengthen bonds. Our bright, safe facility becomes a second home where parents partner with educators in meaningful ways. Education extends beyond classroom walls into the community that shapes our future citizens.
10. Results That Speak Volumes
Since 2016, ACE Prep scholars have consistently defied expectations. Our data-driven approach transforms educational trajectories, especially for students historically underserved by traditional systems. One in ten children from low-income backgrounds typically graduate college; we exist to dramatically improve those odds.
The choice is simple: settle for educational status quo or demand brilliance. ACE Prep families choose brilliance. They recognize that today’s educational decisions echo for generations. They understand that remarkable futures require remarkable foundations. Now enrolling K-6 for 2025-26—because your child’s potential can’t wait another year. Join us now!
