Our Mission
Herron 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.

Our Vision

Herron Classical Schools is 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.

Herron Preparatory Academy launched in August of 2021, serving kindergarten through 2nd grade. Each year, Herron Preparatory will add a grade level until it becomes a K-8 school. Similar to the high schools within the Herron Classical Schools network, Herron Prep offers a classical, liberal arts curriculum that provides students with a solid foundation to better prepare them for high school and beyond.

Herron Preparatory Academy was founded in 2021, and was created in response to the overwhelming demand for a high quality K-8 option within Indianapolis’ urban core. Herron Preparatory Academy holds a charter from the City of Indianapolis Mayor’s Office of Education Innovation, which was awarded by a unanimous vote of the Indianapolis Charter School Board in 2019.

Herron-Riverside High School, Herron High School and Herron Preparatory Academy are all members of Herron Classical Schools, the network formed by the leadership that founded and led Herron High School.
