Welcome
The Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ISBVI) educates and invests in many children that, due to blindness/low vision or blindness/low vision and additional handicapping conditions, other schools cannot or have difficulty serving. Through its outreach initiatives, ISBVI provides services to children and young adults throughout the state who are blind or have low vision who are not enrolled at the School.

Strategic Plan
The ISBVI Board recently approved a new 5-year Strategic Plan for the School. The strategies within this plan will provide a roadmap for positioning ISBVI as the Center for Excellence for the state in educating students with blindness or low vision. This roadmap will be implemented in phases over the coming years as the school concurrently navigates its transition to a new state-of-the-art campus.
