Indiana Gateway Digital Academy (INGDA), a leading institution
in online education, is proud to announce its designation as a
Purple Star school by the Indiana Department of Education (DOE).
This prestigious recognition places INGDA among an elite group of
schools in the state dedicated to supporting military students and
families connected to the nation’s military.
The award is given to school programs statewide that help
students of military families who are often moving from place to
place, as well as the social-emotional toll that moving takes on
them during their developmental years. Being a Purple Star Campus
means INGDA is dedicated to providing extra assistance to these
students and families that is specifically catered to their needs.
In Indiana, only 102 schools have received this honor.
The full-time online public school currently serves nearly 100
active, reserve, and retired military families.
“The Purple Star designation is incredibly important to our
school system," said Dwight Ashley, Executive Director at
Indiana Gateway Digital Academy. “We hope that this designation
helps military families gain confidence knowing that our entire
school system is dedicated to helping their child gain the
educational skills necessary to be life-, work- and
college-ready.”
To achieve Purple Star designation, schools must meet specific
DOE criteria. This includes specialized training for faculty to
help them best serve military families and students, assigned
points of contact within the school for military families, and
employment of military service members and their immediate family
members, among others.
The Purple Star designation is particularly significant this
year with INGDA being part of the largest cohort in the award's
history. Of the 102 designated schools in the state, 64 are new
additions this year, showcasing the growing commitment of Indiana
schools to support military-connected students.
