Purdue Polytechnic High School
South Bend
At Purdue Polytechnic High School, just about everything is different!
Our focus on holistic education and hands-on learning means that every PPHS student feels supported and empowered. As part of their learning students gain real-world, practical experience every day by working on projects they are passionate about, including building guitars from scratch, conducting product trials while creating prototypes, and designing logos for local businesses.
We are excited to call the renovated Studebaker Building in downtown South Bend home! From our open spaces for collaboration, to our fully outfitted makers space complete with 3D printers, laser cutters and power tools, each student has the tools they need to create innovative solutions to real-world problems.
PPHS South Bend offers small class sizes, personalized education, and college and career preparation for every student. In addition, PPHS is a pathway to Purdue University. If a student graduates from PPHS and achieves Purdue’s admission requirements, they are assured admission to many programs at Purdue.
PPHS South Bend is a FREE public charter school open to any high school-age student in Indiana.
