Letter from Our Executive Director

Dear Parents,

Indiana Gateway Digital Academy (INGDA) is an online program of Clarksville Community School Corporation. Indiana Gateway does whatever it takes to leverage personalized learning experiences so that every student is prepared to enroll, employ or enlist. We use an innovative data-informed education model to provide your child with a great education. As a statewide school available to Indiana students in grades K–12, our personalized approach allows us to tailor the educational experience for each learner.

INGDA uses the rigorous and engaging K12 curriculum. K12 programs empower your child to take charge of their learning. Whether an athlete, advanced learner, homeschooler, military kid, career or college-bound—or anything in between—your child can feel at home in our growing community of students. Students demonstrate their knowledge and skills through periodic assessments.

By enrolling in INGDA, you are partnering with a team of knowledgeable and experienced educators. Indiana-licensed teachers work with you in monitoring student progress and attendance while providing instruction and support. Our administrative staff is committed to the success of every child in the program.

We are proud of the high-quality program K-12 at INGDA, combined with an outstanding parent, school community, and teacher support system. Not only are we proud of our school, but we also believe it is a profoundly good choice for families who are interested in being actively involved in their children’s education.

The INGDA Digital Dragons know that choosing the right educational setting for your child is not a decision to be taken lightly. Our dedicated staff is here to assist you as you go through this exciting endeavor.

On behalf of The Digital Dragons, welcome to INGDA!

Sincerely,

Dr. James Callane
Executive Director
