Senior Year Opportunity
CLASS OF 2025 APPLICANTS: Make the most of your senior year at the Indiana Academy!
Please note that applications submitted after the April 24 deadline are subject to a waitlist based on available spaces. While we continue to review applications submitted after these deadlines, you must apply soon to receive a decision in time to attend Summer Orientation.
Application
To be considered for one of our senior year spots, please complete this application as soon as possible! Be sure to also submit transcripts/grade reports for all completed semesters of high school.
Due to our rolling admission process – which means first-come, first serve – the sooner you complete your application, the sooner you’ll receive a decision. Applications are considered complete when we have received your online application, transcripts/grade reports, and recommendations. Recommendations are built into the online application, so there isn’t anything extra you need to do to get those to us.
Once all spaces in the class are filled, qualified students will be offered a spot on our waiting list. Students on the waiting list will be notified if a spot comes open for them. If no spots become available, the list will be closed on August 19.

A unique feature of the Indiana Academy, is the College and Career Counseling Center (CCC). As an Academy student, you will work one-on-one with a member of the CCC team to decide which colleges to apply to, find scholarships, and submit college and scholarship applications.
