Launching Invent Learning Hub, a K-8 charter school

Students enrolled in Indy charter schools make dramatic learning gains compared to students at traditional public schools.

We have built an ecosystem of 12 education nonprofits that support schools in Indianapolis.

Through its Fellowships and incubators, The Mind Trust has helped support the launch of 29 schools in Indy.

In 2014, the Mayor's Office, IPS and The Mind Trust partnered to launch Innovation Network Schools in IPS.
