Every child deserves an exceptional education
Regardless of where you live or your circumstances, your child deserves an educational environment that will enable them to flourish. By removing social, emotional, and academic barriers that stand in your child’s way, the Career Academy Network of Public Schools has created an environment that empowers students to reach their full potential.
Finding your calling is hard work. We love hard work
Our students learn the value of a strong work ethic—and what it takes to make a living doing what they love. Project-based and collaborative learning prepares them for the modern workforce and affords them meaningful hands-on experience.
There’s no such thing as a typical teacher here
Our staff chose to work in a charter school for a reason: they believe it provides the best environment for student success. Empathic innovators, our faculty and administration have spent decades creating truly transformative classroom experiences you’d be hard-pressed to find in traditional public or private schools.
The power of discovering your path.
Starting in Kindergarten, vocational exploration is constant at Career Academy and Success Academy. By focusing on one of three Pathways—Career, Trade, or Higher Education—your student will explore many channels of experiential education to pinpoint their true calling
Intentionally Different
The Career Academy Network of Public Schools is intentionally different. We combine career-focused education with hands-on, real-world learning to prepare students for success beyond the classroom. Our programs offer:- Career Pathways & Certifications – Real-world experiences and industry-relevant credentials give students a competitive edge.
- Project-Based Learning – Students solve real-world problems while exploring STEM, trades, arts, business, and more.
- Personalized Support – Small class sizes, counseling, and flexible learning options meet every student’s unique needs.
- Community Connections – Partnerships with local businesses, colleges, and organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs open doors to greater opportunities.

Traditional Public Schools
In a traditional public school, your child’s education is determined entirely by your home address. We break down those barriers at the Career Academy Network of Public Schools. As public charter schools, Career Academy Middle School, High School, The PortageSchool of Leaders High School, Success Academy at Ardmore Trails and Success Academy at Boys and Girls Club are open to all Indiana residents—no matter your ZIP code.
Why? Because we believe every child deserves access to a high-quality education, regardless of where you live. Your address should never define your opportunities.
Choose Career Academy Network of Public Schools—where potential, not geography, shapes your child’s future
Private Schools
Private schools can be costly. At Career Academy Network of Public Schools, we offer a tuition-free education with no application fees. We also provide free or reduced-price lunches and waived or reduced technology fees for qualifying families.
Why? Because we believe your bank account should never determine the quality of your child’s education. Every student deserves access to excellent opportunities—without the financial burden.
Choose a better future—without the price tag.
Other Schools
While other schools focus on meeting standardized testing requirements, we prioritize real-world experience. From kindergarten through graduation, Career Academy Network of Public Schools uses Project-Based Learning to immerse students in hands-on, meaningful projects. By 8th grade, your child will already have a wealth of practical experience to carry with them into the future.
Why? Because we believe that preparing for the future—with critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills—matters far more than simply preparing for a test.
Empower your child with an experience that lasts a lifetime.
