GLOBAL PREPARATORY ACADEMY

Global Preparatory Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Global Preparatory Academy school district, located in Indianapolis, IN with about 328 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 22 teachers, Global Preparatory Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Global Preparatory Academy, located on Sugar Grove Avenue in Indianapolis, is a public charter school that distinguishes itself through a strong commitment to bilingual education and global citizenship. Serving students in grades K-8, the school utilizes a dual-language immersion model where students learn in both English and Spanish. This approach is designed not only to foster academic excellence but also to ensure that students graduate with high levels of biliteracy and cultural competency, preparing them to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Beyond its language curriculum, the academy emphasizes a holistic approach to student development, focusing on rigorous academics, social-emotional learning, and community engagement. By integrating global perspectives into their daily lessons and fostering a supportive, inclusive environment, Global Preparatory Academy aims to close the opportunity gap for its diverse student body. The school’s mission is centered on empowering students to become critical thinkers and empathetic leaders who are equipped to succeed in higher education and beyond.
