Sycamore School

Sycamore School is a fully accredited, independent school in Indianapolis serving gifted students from preschool through grade 8. While the school's primary mission focuses on academically advanced learners, it also supports students with mild learning differences, ADD/ADHD, and other learning needs through dedicated special education programs. This dual-track approach allows students with diverse learning profiles to thrive in a rigorous, enriched academic environment alongside high-achieving peers.

The school maintains small class sizes averaging 20 students, with 58% of faculty holding advanced degrees. Beyond core academics, Sycamore offers a robust array of enrichment opportunities including Advanced Placement preparation, STEM programs (VEX and Lego Robotics), debate, drama, music, and competitive academic clubs like Academic Olympics and Science Bowl. Students also benefit from access to summer programs and a co-educational, diverse student body (47% students of color) that promotes inclusive learning.

Admission is rolling with a 70% acceptance rate. Tuition ranges from $13,000 (half-day preschool) to $23,420 (grades K-8), with 20% of students receiving financial aid averaging $14,228. Families interested in learning whether Sycamore's combination of gifted programming and learning difference support is a fit should contact admissions director Duane Emery at (317) 202-2500 or visit sycamoreschool.org.
