The Independence School
The Independence School serves students age three through grade eight by working toward educational excellence and personal growth. We inspire students to become independent, intellectually curious individuals who possess an exceptional spirit for learning, leadership, and citizenship. This is accomplished through demonstrated strength in teaching and learning, extensive opportunities for growth and discovery, and an intentional attention to character development. The outcomes for Independence students are notable, with students matriculating to selective and rigorous high schools and colleges, many earning generous scholarships.
