Indianapolis Classical Schools (ICS) is a community of two A-rated high schools – Herron High School and Riverside High School, and our new Herron Preparatory Academy, serving Kindergarten - Grade 2, adding a grade each year to become K-8. ICS shares a unified vision and mission setting a new standard for educational excellence in Central Indiana.

Diverse. Tuition-Free. College Prep.

Indianapolis Classical Schools is a community of scholars that advances timeless ideas and content, builds a culture of respect and trust, and engages in an urban environment in order to prepare students to be world-class citizens.

We are founded on the belief that a classical, liberal arts education, where students are steeped in great historical thought and invention, is the best preparation for a future life of leadership and service. We are structured around an art history timeline which emphasizes the classic art and literature of many cultures.
