History

The conference was formed in 2009, with four Indianapolis-area private schools (Baptist, Greenwood Christian, International, Liberty Christian) joining with recently reopened IPS school Attucks, whose medical focus causes the school to be smaller than its public counterparts. The 2010-11 school year also brought another small IPS school into the fold, Shortridge. There is a definite possibility of future expansion (as well as new conferences), due to the amount of small independent and charter schools within the Indianapolis area.
