Our high schools are a part of the common enrollment system called Enroll Indy. If your child is interested in attending one of our high schools, you must create an Enroll Indy user account and then complete the Enroll Indy online application. 

If your child is attending high school for the first time or is transferring from a non-Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) high school or homeschool, you must register with Enroll Indy and create a user account. 

Once you have created your user account, please select one of our Purdue Polytechnic High Schools locations as your first choice. As soon as your student receives a match with one of our high schools, Enroll Indy and our PPHS Admissions and Enrollment Team will contact you via email and phone.

Have questions?
We’ve got answers.

  • Coach is our way of saying teacher. We believe in educational coaching at PPHS. Students take an active role in their learning and coaches provide encouragement, opportunities, and support!

  • PPHS students are accountable for completing the Indiana diploma requirements for their selected diploma pathway (for example, Core 40 or Academic Honors).

    PPHS offers a wide variety of courses and experiences that allow for this. In addition, there are several extracurricular clubs like show choir, art, chess, debate, and language and culture club, that allow students to robustly pursue their interests.

  • The design thinking process is at the heart of everything we do. It is an approach and mindset to creative problem-solving, learning, and collaboration with others. Students use design thinking in their pathway of interest, passion projects, community projects, and or design team challenges.

  • PPHS serves all students who would like a high-quality, personalized, STEM-focused education that prepares them for real-world success. We have Special Education Teachers and a Director of Student Services at the network to provide support for these students. We have a social worker, licensed nurse, and Special Education teachers on staff at every location.

  • Project cycles take place every six weeks. There are two cycles per semester. Immersions, passion projects, and project challenges each last an entire cycle. Progress reports are sent out at the conclusion of a cycle.

  • Parents and guardians can check their children's grades in Alma, our online Student Information System. Progress reports will also be sent out at the end of each cycle. Your child's Advisory Coach is also a great resource!

  • Students are asked to wear a Purdue-branded hoodie, t-shirt, or sweater with school-appropriate bottoms (jeans, khakis, sweats., etc.).

  • Currently, our students utilize IndyGo, Carpooling, and other methods to get to and from school. Unfortunately, due to the geographic makeup of our student population, it is not currently feasible to coordinate and sustain the yellow bus service. We are open to learning about any additional ideas and/or resources to make a student’s journey to PPHS easier.

  • Yes! Each of our campuses offers breakfast about 30 minutes before the start of the first class.
