Athletics have not been exceptionally strong over the years, but they do have certain players and teams that have done great things. Surprised that this is one of the few schools that hasn't gotten major renovations in the past few years seems as if a number of areas have been ignored while almost every other school in the greater Indianapolis area has been able to invest heavily in renovations and updates, it seems as if Perry Meridian has spent their money differently.

The senior night area was thoughtfully set up and easy to see, which made the celebration feel special which is good for their students. Concessions were available, and there's a spacious parking lot, so getting in and out was simple. The atmosphere was lively, their school band was present. Our team ended up winning, which makes it much more of a better night. They provided a good venue for an exciting game.

I had searched online for a somatic therapist and connected with a woman who happened to be working…read morewith CTS. We have now been working together for nearly 2.5 years and my experience with her has been life changing. However, I have had some major frustrations with the office side of the organization. There are also some policies that can greatly affect a person with state insurance that are not given up front. It was pretty smooth sailing for quite some time. Before Covid, the receptionist was very kind and warm. Now, all sessions are online, indefinitely, and only a recording answers the phone. For some time, the only thing I really despised was the tiny bathroom available to clients that always seemed dirty...if they ever reopen, they should redo that closet of a bathroom. After about a year of working together, I was warned that my therapist would be gaining her license soon and that they do not accept state insurance for their licensed level tier of therapists. CTS is listed as a "training center for master's degree students and post-graduate counseling residents." My therapist had moved here from Colorado and was practicing at CTS to earn licensure in Indiana. So she was already experienced and I was making great progress with her help. I was not interested in starting over with a student/resident. To continue, we scaled back on the frequency of my sessions so I could afford to pay cash. I see this being extremely problematic for those without the means to finance their own mental health, after they've bonded with a therapist. The most concerning thing, that has affected me most, is their failure to comply with multiple requests from Social Security for my disability claim. Even after they insisted they had sent the requested records, but hadn't, they became pushy about me resubmitting their online release of information form and a copy of my drivers license because "they lost the original." For the sake of a chance at them submitting the paperwork in my appeal, I did so, but...I'm still salty about it. As with any counseling "center," your experience is going to vary greatly according to your situation and the therapist you choose. Here, the business end could use some improvement.

I've long been familiar with the Christian Theological Seminary Counseling Center, a clinical…read moresetting designed to provide a training ground for CTS's master's level students and post-graduate counseling residents who are part of CTS's COAMFTE accredited Marriage and Family Therapy program and Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. Fees for services with graduate interns are on a sliding scale and are typically discussed in the first session. The counseling center is located on the South end of the Butler University campus. It's worth noting that CTS sold its land and buildings to Butler University and is now actually renting its spaces. I've gone to CTS's counseling center more than once - partly because I appreciate its spiritual core and partly because of the aforementioned sliding scale counseling services. Due to the pandemic, CTS is limited to telehealth appointments at this time. As most churches are starting to open up, here's hoping that they return to at least a hybrid arrangement in the near future. Christian Theological Seminary is a Disciples of Christ seminary. It leans toward a more progressive theology, though it certainly embraces the full spectrum. That said, I think a lot of folks would be surprised that at a seminary counseling center you can definitely find counselors/therapists willing to and quite skilled at dealing with a wide variety of issues. I've typically found the counseling center to offer a diverse staff. They try to honor requests - for example, as a sexual assault survivor I tend to prefer working with women. I've typically not had difficulty having that request honored. All of the interns are supervised. They may or may not ask you if they can hold sessions in a room that has a one-way mirror (supervisors may observe from the other side). I've never been comfortable with this - that discomfort has always been honored. The counseling center used to actually be within the seminary, though it was moved into its current setting years ago. I've never been quite as comfortable in the current setting - it's not particularly as wheelchair friendly and the bathroom is abysmal. CTS sees clients without regard to race, color, religion/creed, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, marital status, etc. This is consistent with Disciples of Christ. The counseling center has been around since 1967. It's fully accredited as are the CTS counseling programs. I find the CTS counseling center to be one of Indy's better affordable counseling options, though it's certainly not flawless. It's primarily geared toward shorter term counseling issues (once interns become licensed, they no longer work on sliding scale and/or will graduate and move away). While this typically takes 2-3 years, for those looking for a long-term relationship that's less likely here (This is generally true of affordable counseling - # of sessions is important and missed sessions can easily lead to termination of services). The counseling center offers a variety of groups. It does not offer walk-ins or crisis services. They also do not offer medications. Therapists are very good at identifying if someone's needs are outside their scope and will assist in arranging appropriate referrals if needed. Over the years, I've worked with 3 different therapists here. 2 of the 3 were wonderful experiences. The third was, perhaps, less stellar of an arrangement but I'd still consider it good. Overall, I'd consider the CTS Counseling Center one of Indy's better kept secrets for affordable counseling. While the scope is somewhat limited and there are some accessibility concerns (for in-person counseling), I've always felt cared about with my therapists and had good experiences working on issues important to my healing and wellness.

Our experience at Heritage Christian School has been overwhelmingly positive. Like any school, it's…read morenot perfect, and you won't agree with every decision, but what stands out is the environment they've created for students to truly grow. The smaller class sizes have made a huge difference for our children. Their teachers genuinely see them for who they are, not just academically but as individuals. There's a strong balance of accountability and encouragement. Students are challenged to do their best while also being supported and known. What sets this community apart is the faith-centered foundation. During a major life event for our family, our kids weren't just supported, they were surrounded by a community that consistently prayed over them and walked alongside us in a very real way. That kind of care goes beyond the classroom. What matters most to us is that my kids are thriving. They feel valued, they're growing in confidence, and they're being poured into by teachers who care deeply. That kind of environment is hard to find, and we're grateful to be part of it.

As years have…read morepassed and I've spoken to people who are familiar, I am not alone when I say this school is the most racist school ever. I though I was enrolling my daughter in a safe school environment, but she was bullied every day and nothing done. she got in trouble for defending herself. my daughter is black and looked different. she had locs in her hair and unfortunately was not only bullied by children but teachers as well. they couldn't hide or take away the fact that she was very smart so they bullied her about her lunch, or a coach kicking her in the face with a soccer ball or about how she looked. My daughter is now grown but still it affected by the trauma she faced there. Please make sure that you research this school and make sure before enrolling your child especially if of a different nationality other the majority (white) that rules have changed and their so called " no bullying policy" is actually being withheld. No child deserves to go through what my daughter did. She is 23 and still talks about the things that happened to her there. I hope and pray that karma has touched each and everyone who caused pain, stress and heartache to my child. Alrhough I will say the devil did not win. She is happy, engaged to be married and just bought her own home. I did take her out of this school and placed her where she would strive as the smart, intelligent young lady she is. So with this being said, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE CHILD OF COLOR. Please save your child the heartache

I've talked to other "mad scientists" from other franchises in Canada and the US, and they've even been impressed with the amount of programs that are offered and the quality of the take-home science projects the kids get. Every time I go into a school to teach kids, something happens to "make my day." If you have any questions, let me know. We do summer camps, in-school workshops for pre-schoolers through 8th graders, birthday parties, after school programs, library programs, stuff for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, and really BIG science shows for audiences at schools, community centers, etc. It's so much fun!! Science shows are far superior to magic shows.

I have never actually been here although I know of the school and don't live too far away. I was…read morehere last night with my family to watch my niece's dance recital and I was impressed with the facility. The parking lot is large with lots of spots to park but not too hard to navigate. When you walk in the front entrance, after walking up a long cement walkway, there is a large lobby area that has a few tables and some chairs, and a long hallway off to the left. It is all very clean and seems well kept. The auditorium was down the long hallway and was very large, with padded theater-type seats. The stage was nice-sized and seemed like a great place to perform. If you happen to need wheelchair accessibility there are several accessible spots on the left end of one row in the auditorium with seats removed for wheelchairs. For those of us with mobility challenges who are also able to walk (I use crutches) there are hand rails to hold onto up the gentle slope. I do think they might consider making a few more rows handicap/wheelchair accessible so people who need this can have more options for seating but good for them for even trying. The performance was really nice and each age group did a very nice job. Overall this was a great time and I really enjoyed it. If you plan to go to an outside performance located here you are in for a good experience.
