Academics
The Indiana School for the Deaf offers a comprehensive, bilingual curriculum in both American Sign Language (ASL) and English. Our programs are designed to meet the unique needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, promoting academic excellence, language development, and life skills. With a focus on individualized learning, we prepare students for success in higher education, careers, and life beyond the classroom.
Our bilingual/bicultural philosophy facilitates proficiency in two languages, ASL and English, in an enriched academic and cultural learning environment. Our students develop a sense of identity within the Deaf Community. Students also develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to function effectively with members of a multicultural and diverse community.
