The International School of Indiana is an independent school in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The mission of the International School of Indiana is to provide our students with a world-class education that prepares them to be responsible citizens and effective leaders in a rapidly globalizing and interdependent world.

Since its founding in 1994, ISI has grown into a 3-year-old through Grade 12 school of more than 600 students. The High School and Middle School classes (and currently two elementary school classes) are on the Michigan Road campus near the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and the early years and lower-elementary school classes are held in a 1940s schoolhouse leased from Butler University in the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood.
One of six like-minded international schools in the United States, ISI offers an integrated International Baccalaureate curriculum that is transferable to schools around the world. The ISI curriculum imparts the problem-solving skills students need in the 21st-century economy.
The school campus is situated in the Butler-Tarkington neighborhood of Indianapolis, with the majority of the facilities situated on 60 wooded acres north of the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

The school has an accredited IB Diploma Programme, Middle Years Programme, and the Primary Years Programme.

ISI's supportive, diverse environment encourages academic and personal achievement, emphasizing the core values of respect, effort and responsibility. Throughout their school experience, students learn to:
