The Childrens House, Inc.

The Children's House is an alternative elementary school in Indianapolis serving students in Pre-K through 8th grade who benefit from individualized instruction and a low-pressure learning environment. Founded in 1971, the school specializes in learning differences and ADD/ADHD support, offering small classes (average 7 students) where children can progress at their own pace without competitive pressure. This approach is particularly effective for students who learn differently or need personalized attention to thrive academically and socially.

The curriculum combines core academics—Math, Science, and Reading—with enrichment in Art, Music, Yoga, Latin, Literature, and Social Studies. With 99% of faculty holding advanced degrees and a student-to-teacher ratio that allows genuine individualization, The Children's House creates a supportive atmosphere where each child's unique learning style and strengths are recognized and developed. The casual dress code and nonsectarian environment contribute to a relaxed, inclusive setting.

Tuition is $6,500 annually with financial aid options including sibling discounts, work-study opportunities based on need, and merit-based scholarships. Rolling admissions mean families can apply throughout the year. For more information, contact Admissions Director Abigail Louden at (317) 253-3033 or visit thechildrenshouseindianapolis.com.
