A PURDUE POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL
Student Experience
What Student Life Looks Like at PPHS LAB
At PPHS LAB, school feels different…because it is. With fewer students and more support, every learner has the chance to be seen, heard, and challenged in meaningful ways.
This is school, redesigned: smaller, smarter, and built around you.
Here, learning is personalized. Every student gets a schedule built around their goals, with the flexibility to move at their own pace and the structure to stay on track. Coaches meet with students daily to help them plan, reflect, and grow, not just in academics, but in life.
Students take part in real-world learning experiences that combine creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning. Whether you’re launching a podcast, exploring AV tech, or working on a local partnership, you’ll be doing work that matters and building skills for the future.
And because we’re part of the larger PPHS network, LAB students still have access to college credit courses, college prep support, and special school activities.
“Our daughter just finished her freshman year at PPHS and is gearing up for her first week at Purdue University for Data Science and STEM! She loved her first year of high school, developed lasting friendships, had incredible support from staff and teachers, and cannot wait to start her Sophomore year! Her academic needs continue to be met and she is on track to have all Core high school credits by end of next school year! You can tell how much the administration, support staff, and teachers love being part of this community and watching the students’ success!”
A Place Where You Can Be You
Whether a student is outgoing or quiet, artistic or analytical, focused on college or still figuring things out, there is a place for them at PPHS.
Our goal is simple: help every student feel like they matter. Because they do.
