Empower.
We empower school leaders with quality, cost effective services to build capacity, continue the growth of charter schools, and maximize the time and resources spent directly in the classroom.
OUR GOAL


The Center for Innovative Education Solutions (CIES) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to providing top-notch, cost-effective financial, operational and state reporting services to Charter School and Innovation Network School leaders.
By ensuring that Charter Schools and Innovation Network Schools have effective support services, CIES maximizes the time school personnel can focus on the classroom, fuels the development of school leaders, and saves Charter Schools and Innovation Network Schools valuable resources that can be reinvested in schools' educational programs.
Our team boasts over 30 years combined experience working directly with autonomous schools in Central Indiana. We are true partners in every stage of a school’s life cycle, holistically addressing the needs of school leaders during school startup, normal operations, and replication.
As the only Central Indiana based option, CIES provides better, local services at a lower cost, and schools only pay for the services needed. Please click here to contact our team to discuss why CIES is the right solution for your school.
