Authorized by Ball State University Office of Charter Schools in December of 2011, the Canaan Community Academy is scheduled to open in the fall of 2012. Plans for the school can be found on our School Design page. However, plans for the school extend far past what is summarized on this website. The 285 page proposal to charter outlines the school's mission, curriculum, staffing, and administrative plans. School leaders are actively working to implement those plans and further define the details in the operations of the school. 

For more in depth information, feel free to reach out via the information on the Participate page.
