Talented People. Exceptional Educators.

Indianapolis is a growing community recognized for the food, sports and attractions it offers. In 2021, TIME Magazine named Indianapolis one of the “World’s Greatest Places.” It’s also recognized for being on the cutting edge of education transformation. Indianapolis Teaching Fellows plays an important role in this effort through our partnership with Indianapolis Public Schools and Township Charter Schools in Center Township. With more than 45 district and charter school partners in Center Township, Indianapolis, Fellows have the unique flexibility to find a school that fits their skills, and interests and where they can contribute to ensuring all students have an excellent education.
