EMBRACING EXCELLENCE: ACHIEVE WITH US

Welcome to William McKinley School 39, a renowned center of learning located in the historic Fountain Square district of Indianapolis that has embraced a rich tradition of academic excellence since 1895, consistently featured in Chalkbeat for the highest growth and increased proficiency on ILEARN. Our research-based curriculum focuses on solid foundational skills and experiences that extend beyond the classroom through innovative programs like our Outdoor Learning Lab—complete with an amphitheater, beehives, and garden beds—along with our Action-Based Learning (ABL) Class and Integrated Arts and Music (IAM) Class, providing students with diverse opportunities to grow and thrive in a community where diversity, innovation, and academic rigor come together.
