Founded with a commitment to academic excellence and whole-child development, we serve a diverse population of students and families who are deeply invested in education and community impact.

As an established school with strong systems and a clear vision, Liberty Grove continues to expand thoughtfully. We are excited to be growing into a full middle school model, with the addition of 7th grade in the upcoming school year. This growth reflects both the success of our program and the trust families place in our school.

We are proud to maintain a staff retention rate of approximately 90%, demonstrating the strength of our school culture, relationships, and academic programming. Our student achievement scores are in line with peer schools across Indianapolis, reflecting consistent academic progress and a commitment to high standards for all learners.

At Liberty Grove, we envision a community of academic excellence that sparks innovation and creates opportunity. We achieve this by empowering students of diverse backgrounds, removing limiting labels, and fostering a culture grounded in high expectations, belonging, and continuous growth.

We believe deeply in the partnership between school and community and share collective ownership in developing well-educated, civic-minded students. We meet students where they are, celebrate who they are, and challenge them to grow. Our work is driven by a shared belief in possibility, and the mindset of “why not us?”
