COLLEGE PREP

Leading Students Toward Higher Education

A college degree gets students ready for a successful future. And, at Indiana Connections Academy, we get students ready for college. We offer a range of Honors courses along with plenty of online clubs for students. And we help students build the personal responsibility and love of learning they’ll need to get into—and excel at—whatever college they choose.

Students interested in college prep enjoy plenty of support along the way. Their teachers embrace their goals, and counselors guide them through the college selection and application process. Plus, our online learning environment is similar to what many colleges use, meaning our students are ready to hit the (digital) ground running.

If your child is interested in going to college, they’ll find the right path here.
