The Best K-7 All-Girls School in Indianapolis

At Girls IN STEM Academy, we do things a little differently. Like traditional public schools, our curriculum follows state standards and our schools are free and open to all. What sets us apart is our award-winning, intentional, and structured academic approach that helps students feel confident, ask questions, and advocate for themselves in the classroom.

What Makes Girls IN STEM Academy Different?

There is a large, self-perpetuating gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) jobs. Girls interested in STEM have fewer female role models, and the gender gap is even more pronounced among girls of color.

Girls IN STEM Academy

  • Is an all-girls public school for grades K-7 on the northwest side of Indianapolis. We will be adding Grade 8 for the 2026-27 school year.

  • Allows girls to thrive and excel in a supportive environment with a core curriculum and STEM focus. The goal is to prepare them for high school, college, and a rewarding STEM career.
