The Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities (The Indiana Academy) is a nationally ranked[2] public high school located on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.[3] The Academy offers both residential and non-residential (commuter) options for juniors and seniors. As of the 2022-2023 academic year, a non-residential only pilot program for high school sophomores has been added, though it remains to be seen if it will persist. Admission[4] is open to high ability, gifted, and talented high school students living anywhere in Indiana.

The Indiana Academy was founded in 1988 by the Indiana General Assembly.[5] and is a part of Ball State's Teachers College.[6] The first group of Academy juniors started in the fall of 1990.
