ACADEMICS

The Bilingual/Bicultural Philosophy provides language acquistion and facilitates proficiency in two languages, American Sign Language (ASL) and English. By providing an enriched academic and cultural learning environment, our Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing 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, diversified community.

ADMISSION

The first step is for a parent/legal guardian to contact the student’s neighborhood school or Local Education Agency (LEA) to express their interest in ISD enrollment.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

ISD continues to provide digital citizenship education in grades 3-12. With the increased access to digital resources, communities, and communication, it is more vital than ever that we support and guide our students as they navigate the digital world we all live in.

SUPPORT STUDENT SERVICES

Indiana School for the Deaf provides support, assistance and resources for enrolled students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing.
