Can I use Indiana funding at The Oaks Academy - Middle School?
The Oaks Academy - Middle School is on the Indiana Department of Education's 2026-27 list of participating Choice schools, with instruction listed as in person. IDOE's 2025-26 annual report counts 269 Choice students enrolled here in period one.
Your voucher amount comes from where you live, not from the school's address: for 2026-27 it runs from $6,395 for a Carmel Clay resident to $7,456 for an IPS-area resident, and The Oaks Academy - Middle School receives the lesser of that figure and its tuition and fees.
It is on IDOE's SGO partner list dated October 21, 2026, so a family within 400% of the free and reduced-price lunch line can apply for a tax-credit scholarship to stack on the voucher.
Independent schools set their own aid. Where tuition runs well above the district voucher, ask how need-based aid is calculated after the Choice award is counted. Its pre-K years sit outside the voucher; On My Way Pre-K and SGO grants (from age four) are the routes there.
