Indianapolis Education
Higher Education
Indianapolis is the home of Butler University, the University of
Indianapolis, Marian College, Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana, Martin
University, Oakland City University School of Adult and Extended Learning,
and Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis. The last was
originally an urban conglomeration of branch campuses of the two major state
universities, Indiana University in Bloomington and Purdue University in
West Lafayette, created by the state legislature. A merged campus created
downtown in 1969 at the site of the Indiana University School of Medicine
has grown since its inception, with a student body today of just under
30,000. This makes it the third-largest campus in the state.
Primary and Secondary Education
Indianapolis has eleven unified public school districts (eight township
educational authorities and three legacy districts from before the
unification of city and county government) each of which provides primary,
secondary, and adult education services within its boundaries. The
boundaries of these districts do not exactly correspond to township (or
traditional) boundaries, but rather cover the areas of their townships that
were outside the pre-consolidation city limits. Indianapolis also has four
public International Baccalaureate high schools, Lawrence Central High
School, Lawrence North High School, North Central High School, Pike High
School, and at least one private school that awards this.
Indianapolis also has several Roman Catholic high schools, including Brebeuf
Jesuit Preparatory School, Bishop Chatard High School, Cathedral High
School, Roncalli High School, Scecina Memorial High School, and Cardinal
Ritter High School. Indianpolis also has a Protestant high school called
Heritage Christian High School and a Lutheran high school, Lutheran High
School of Indianapolis.
