The Indiana School for the Deaf strives to be the premier comprehensive center providing education, services and resources for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children, their families, and educational partners.

The ECE program offers a creative curriculum with a project approach. The ECE program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Children in the ECE program develop problem-solving and social skills as they discover their own interests in a self-guided and supportive environment.

All students have 90 minutes of uninterrupted Bilingual Language Arts (BLA). BLA primarily emphasizes reading and grammar skills. The Language Arts program follows the Process Balanced Literacy Model. Our program uses two forms of assessments. Fry Sight Words Assessments and A-Z reading levels.

The Middle School offer curricula under the Indiana Department of Education Proficiency Standards with emphasis on linguistic and cognitive skills with real-world applications.

Our High School comprises the ninth through the twelfth grades. The curricula encompass English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Career and Technical Education, and School to Work opportunities. At Indiana School for the Deaf (ISD) high school students participate in the development of their transition plan to be better prepared for their future endeavors.

To prepare for success, students must have opportunities to reinforce, apply and transfer their work experience knowledge and skills to a variety of settings and problems. Knowledge about career opportunities, requirements, and expectations and the development of workplace skills prepare students for success in the work force, training or college.
