Life in the City

Located in the center of Indiana, Indianapolis is well-termed the “Crossroads of America.”  It is bisected by more interstate highways than any other city in the country.  As the state capital, Indy boasts all the cosmopolitan excitement and energy of a thriving metropolis, while simultaneously exuding a calm, laid-back atmosphere that is uniquely Midwestern.

Indianapolis

High-speed, history, and good old Hoosier hospitality are just a few of the many reasons we love teaching in Indianapolis. While home to the Indy 500, the Colts, and the Pacers, Indianapolis is also equipped with great food, arts, and culture. We are looking forward to sampling the plethora of live music that comes through Indy at venues like Old National Centre. Our community is also only about three hours away from Notre Dame Stadium, which is great for game days! We are In-dy!

  • " Being a first year teacher is one of the hardest jobs to bare, especially for those fresh out of college. I think being in a community helps you deal with that, and reminds you to keep things in perspective. "
