Academics

The Independent School emphasizes educational excellence through a curriculum that facilitates each student’s highest intellectual, creative, physical, and social potential.

Our curriculum exemplifies the best educational practices. Every classroom provides a supportive, personalized environment with an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and cultivates motivation. Daily, students engage and develop positive relationships with a caring faculty that offers individual attention assisting not only each student’s academic growth but facilitating his/her development of responsibility, self-confidence, compassion, and self-discipline.

Starting with the first day of pre-kindergarten, The Independent School strives to promote a love of learning and begins to build the foundational knowledge that will provide our students with academic strengths they need to thrive throughout our rigorous pre-kindergarten through 12th grade program, and beyond. Independent study skills are taught and emphasized throughout our Lower, Middle and Upper School divisions so that our students will be successful maintaining high academic standards while feeling comfortable balancing their participation in a wide variety of extracurricular activities.

It is our hope that students graduate from The Independent School with the ability to think, evaluate, solve, write, read, and communicate critically and creatively. Our goal is for our students to leave with an education that ensures future success in their life-long, learning endeavors.
