Education
Welcome to the Education Division. Our school offers
a complete academic program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students from
preschool through high school graduation. Students enroll in the school
as young as eighteen (18) months and continue to graduation.
The school is committed to the academic development of each of our students.
Through the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) process, teachers and support
staff strive to develop and implement a program designed to promote
and develop each child's educational needs. The division endorses a
bilingual-bicultural environment throughout the school. American Sign
Language (ASL) is the language of instruction with written English
strongly emphasized across the curriculum.
The school is accredited by the Indiana Department of Education through
the Performance Based Accreditation (PBA), the North Central Association of
Colleges and Schools (NCA) and the Conference of Educational Administrators
Serving the Deaf (CEASD). The school follows the rigorous Indiana Academic Standards. Students are assessed through the ISTEP+ and ISTAR given to all the students in the state of Indiana.
