We have found a home at The Independent School. Every level has fantastic teachers. The education is next level. My children are in sports, clubs, plays and musicals, honor societies and volunteer organizations through the school. The opportunities abound. We love the friends our kids have made and are just so grateful to have found our way to The Independent School.

I liked the sense of community that this school offered, in addition to the lovely teachers, and how academically focused the school is. Though challenging at times, I appreciated the curriculum and the many opportunities to cater to a smaller group of people, and the ability to basically do or create almost anything that one was passionate about.

We've been at Independent for 11 years and love the family community. The teachers are amazing and work hard to give the students the best experiences of learning. There have been several changes of administration over the years.
