The Project School

The Project School, the only Charter School asked to submit a formal proposal to the Mayor’s Office in 2007, is in its final stages of application.  If awarded their Charter, the group is looking to locate in a redeveloped warehouse within the Martindale on the Monon area.  This will not only expedite the redevelopment of this particular building, but also provide another educational option for neighborhood families.  For more information on this K-8 school, please click here.
