Damar Charter Academy

Damar Charter Academy, located on Decatur Boulevard in Indianapolis, is a specialized public charter school dedicated to serving students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The academy is uniquely designed to provide a highly structured, therapeutic environment that integrates rigorous academic instruction with intensive behavioral support. By maintaining smaller class sizes and utilizing a multidisciplinary team of educators and specialists, the school focuses on meeting the individualized needs of students who may struggle in traditional classroom settings.

Beyond its academic curriculum, the academy emphasizes the development of social, communication, and daily living skills necessary for student independence. Because the school operates as a partner to the broader Damar Services network—a well-known organization in Indiana for disability support—it leverages clinical expertise and evidence-based practices to foster a safe, inclusive atmosphere. The ultimate goal of the academy is to empower its students to reach their personal potential while preparing them for successful transitions into their communities and future educational or vocational pursuits.
