Wellness

The Indiana Academy is committed to providing students with an environment that encourages healthy lifestyles. The Wellness program at the Academy operates from the standpoint that when any part of an individual is out of balance, it affects the health of the whole.

The Academy recognizes basic wellness dimensions that contribute to a healthy, well-rounded individual. These areas focus on the following categories: cultural, diversity, emotional/spiritual, physical, and vocational experiences. The Wellness program requires each student to complete fifteen (15) credits over the course of the two years at the Academy. These credits must be completed to fulfill a graduation requirement. Each semester Academy staff offers over 120 Wellness activities for students.

Academy School Service

Cooperative living and shared responsibility is fostered through the Academy Service program. A total of fifteen (15) Academy Service hours must be earned in service to the school. The average graduating class of approximately 150 students will complete over 4,000 hours of Academy Service.
