About

Schools Building Communities — commonly known as SBC — is being established as an Indianapolis non-profit charter management company which partners and leverages the resources and expertise of exemplary national education intermediaries to establish a network of high-performing small school models. SBC will distinguish itself by its ability to recruit a highly talented and experienced team from diverse education and industry sectors.

The goal is to deliver equitable and effective learning for all students, combining the best of 20th century education with the 21st century reform change that is so often discussed. Our strategy for change is to integrate new frontiers in innovation, technology, collaboration and the learning sciences. We plan to launch a flagship high school in the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood of Indianapolis.

As the founding members have been working to build relationships, forge partnerships, inspect locations and complete a wide array of application forms, we have not had much time to contemplate the format or goal of our official website.

Until now…

We have decided to open the doors of this process to our colleagues, our friends and the public. The goals are to foster ideas, demonstrate our conviction to provide education alternatives, document this all-encompassing venture and guide others who will choose to walk this same path.

We will soon begin populating this site with data as well as images and videos. And we hope that you will join us on Facebook as a “Friend of Schools Building Communities.” We need all the friends we can find!
