Do you wish you had a great elementary option for your kids? Or, are you looking for a middle school closer to home, with arts programs, advanced technology, and class options? A school that understands your needs and works with each family to provide a better future for their kids?

Located just south of Fountain Square, SENSE (Southeast Neighborhood School of Excellence) is a free public charter school serving the Bates-Hendricks, Garfield Park, and local areas. SENSE provides a safe, supportive environment that's focused on working with your students to help them achieve their best.

At SENSE, we believe the arts are important in helping spark out students' curiosity and creativity. We think healthy minds mean healthier students. While some schools have moved arts, music, physical education, and STEM to the edges of their school experience, we embrace them at SENSE. Every student deserves a school that incorporates these critical subjects.

SENSE is free! We provide free school supplies, breakfast, lunch, and transportation. You can register your student online through our website or in person at the school. Like traditional public schools, public charter schools have open enrollment policies and cannot discriminate based on race, color, gender, national origin, religion, or ancestry,
