General FAQs
Who is eligible to attend Indiana Gateway Alternative School (INGAS)?
Any student in grades 9–12 who resides in Indiana and is credit deficient is eligible for full-time enrollment.
How many of my students can I enroll in INGAS?
Because INGAS provides all the lesson plans and materials needed for grades 9–12, many parents find it easy to enroll multiple students in the program.
What does it cost to attend INGAS?
Since INGAS is a public school program, there is no tuition. INGAS provides state-certified teachers and all instructional materials for the program.* However, students and families are responsible for providing some consumable materials (such as printer ink and paper). In addition, families are required to provide their own computers and internet access to participate in the program. INGAS will provide loaner computers as needed, and this determination will take place during the enrollment process.
What information is required to enroll?
Interested students do need to submit an application, and there is additional documentation to upload as part of the enrollment process. Visit our How To Enroll page for more information.
What is the attendance policy?
As Indiana public school students, all INGDA students must comply with the state-required minimum of 180 instructional days. Students are required to log in daily and complete assigned coursework to be counted present for the day. To view the attendance policy in detail, please refer to our Student Handbook.
Can our family take a vacation during the school year?
The school calendar already includes holidays and scheduled vacation time, and family trips should align with those days whenever possible. If you plan a vacation that does not coordinate with the school calendar, parents are required to contact attendance@ingda.net before the dates being requested to submit a vacation attendance request. Requests will be reviewed in accordance with school policy, and absences may not be excused.
