College Preparatory

Herron Classical High Schools offer small classroom environments that allow for more teacher-student, one-on-one, individualized attention. Our schools have a culture that, above all, supports rigorous academics and preparation for college.

The culture does this through small classes, continual dialogue between teacher and students, regular and planned remediation, teacher advisors, and tutoring. Through consistency, self-discipline, and intellectual curiosity, Herron Classical Schools students become informed citizens capable of transforming our world.

Excellence in Education

Schools in the Herron Classical Schools network have repeatedly ranked among the top schools in Marion County by U.S. News & World Report, have consistently been given "A" grades by the Indiana Department of Education, and are awarded "Gold Medal School" status. Herron and Herron-Riverside High Schools are staples in the Indianapolis education community, and provide an incredible college preparatory education.
