Academy of Science and Entrepreneurship

About Us

The Academy of Science and Entrepreneurship is a member of the New Technology Network and focuses on a project-based, problem-based learning model with an emphasis on developing 21st-century skills as well as mastering Indiana State Standards. Learning takes place in small learning environments that demand rigorous, collaborative, and high-quality work that is related to solving real-world problems both in Bloomington as well as in the broader world community. We take great pride in our ability to provide a nurturing and safe learning community to our students. Our small learning environment allows us the flexibility to work closely with students to meet their academic goals and create opportunities unique to each student.

The Academy is an Endorsed Early College High School that offers students the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and college credits or an associate degree while still in high school. Our higher education partner is Ivy Tech.

Some benefits of attending an Early College High School include: 

• Reduced cost of college: students can save money on college by earning college credits while still in high school
• Increased college readiness
• Academic and social support
• Personalized attention
• Partnerships with colleges

The Academy is an Indiana STEM Certified High School. An Indiana STEM Certified School is a school that has been recognized by the Indiana Department of Education as a school who has aligned their programming with the state's priorities for STEM Education. The goal of STEM Education is to prepare students for the 21st century. At The Academy we have integrated STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) approaches into our curriculum and teaching methods. Our teachers prioritize inquiry-based learning, community engagement, and STEM activities integrated into our arts and humanities courses.
