Our Academic Model

 

The world is our classroom.

Place-Based Learning

At URBAN ACT, our educational model meets our scholars where they live.

Our school, neighborhoods, communities, and city serve as the springboard for student learning and investigation.

Through place-based learning, we allow Indianapolis scholars in grades K through 8 learn the skills and knowledge they need by studying the world they live in.

We prepare them to excel in a changing world. 



Our I-LEAD core values are what guide our scholars and staff

INTENTIONALITY |

We live consciously to demonstrate purposeful and thoughtful actions in and out of the classroom.

LOYALTY |

Because we recognize we play a part in the community around us, we actively support others.

EQUITY |

We fight to advocate for all voices, ensuring everyone around us has what they need for success.

ACHIEVEMENT |

Excellence is always what we strive for.

DETERMINATION |

We keep and convey a “whatever it takes” attitude.
