JOIN THE GLOBAL PREPARATORY ACADEMY FAMILY

Enrollment is easy, and we’re here to help.

Global Prep is a Choice School!

Tuition-Free & Open to All Indiana Students

How Does Choice Enrollment Work?

All Pre-K to 8th-grade students are welcome to apply to our school choice program by filling out an application through EnrollIndy and ranking Global Prep Academy as their top choice after the lottery opens on November 1st, 2024.

Due to our unique bilingual model, we strongly recommend that students who wish to apply to 2nd grade and beyond have some degree of language proficiency in Spanish. If your student has attended a bilingual program or speaks Spanish in the home, please feel free to reach out to the enrollment team at GPA about your unique circumstances.

Transportation


Transportation is available for Kindergarten and Up. Prek entails drop-off and pick-up.



Students who reside in IPS Zones 1 & 2 will receive free public school transportation.


Students who live outside of these zones can absolutely attend GPA, but will need to provide their own transportation.

Enrollment FAQs

  • Will my child learn the same things that students learn in other schools?

    Yes, our curriculum follows the same State guidelines and standards, our classes cover the same grade level objectives, and students work toward the same academic goals - regardless of the language of instruction.

  • What is a public charter school?

    Charter schools are independently operated public schools that are open to all Indianapolis residents, regardless of their neighborhood, socioeconomic status, academic achievement, or ethnicity. There are no admission tests or tuition fees.

  • Will there be a before and after school program offered?

    Yes.  Before care - 7 AM - 7:45 am

    Aftercare (Spanish Immersion) 2:45 - 6 pm

  • Will transportation be provided?

    Yes. Transportation will be provided in Zones 1 and 2 for Kindergarten and up.

  • How will my child understand if he/she does not speak the second language?

    Teachers use many strategies to make the content understandable, such as visuals, props, manipulatives, facial expressions, gestures, physical movements, and many other instructional techniques. The teachers also repeat vocabulary and concepts and always check for understanding. Teachers do not expect your child to speak the second language right away. The students are not forced to speak the second language, and they are initially allowed to speak English/Spanish. The teacher will restate what your child says to reinforce the connection between the Spanish and English vocabulary or vice versa.

  • How can parents support their child in the program?

    Encourage your child by telling them how proud you are that they are learning a second language. Let your child know you are pleased with their progress. Show them that you value the ability to speak a second language.

  • When will my child become fluent?

    Do not expect your child to start speaking the second language after the first few weeks. They are in the listening phase of their second language development. Your child will become familiar with the vocabulary and then will begin to take the steps to speak the second language. Do NOT compare your child to other DL students. Learning a second language is a five to seven-year process, and each child develops at their rate.
