Welcome to Irvington Community Schools

Today’s students want to be engaged in the classroom, involved in their community, and prepared for the challenges of college and the workplace of tomorrow. Preparing our students for the next level of their education – and beyond – is our mission, one we’ve been making good on since the establishment of our first tuition-free public charter school in Irvington in 2002. Chartered by the Indianapolis Mayor’s Office of Education Innovation, ICS, Inc. provides students a unique educational experience with a liberal arts focus: all students K-12 participate weekly in Physical Education, Music, an award-winning Art program, and Foreign Language.

Small schools, small class size: All Irvington Community School students receive individual attention in a differentiated learning environment, and tutoring is provided as necessary. Out extended school day, year-round schedule keeps students on track to achieve academic excellence.
