Purdue Polytechnic High School of Indianapolis

Purdue Polytechnic High School (pphs) is a free public charter High School that encourages learning outside the box - and the traditional classroom - through the lens of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (stem). Students learn problem-solving and critical thinking through real-world design challenges. They use the design-thinking process, which includes analysis and reflection, to emphasize core academic concepts. Instead of a traditional schedule, teachers and students work together to schedule time for individual and group instruction in a variety of formats. Students learn to be responsible for recognizing gaps in their own knowledge and receive high-quality instructional support when they need it.
