Open Enrollment Program The Open Enrollment Program provides interdistrict and intradistrict enrollment options for students on a space available basis to improve academic achievement and reduce racial, ethnic, and economic isolation. Parents have the choice to move their child to another school corporation as long as they are willing to abide by the policies of the accepting school district.

Private/Non-Public Schools For non-public schools who want to be accredited, the Indiana State Board of Education has established a performance-based accreditation system. The standards for accreditation are the same standards required of all public schools.

Home Schooling Homeschooling is an option parents may want to choose to educate their children themselves at home. Parents should file a form with their local school superintendent stating their intention to homeschool.
