I am looking forward to another positive year of achievement, growth, and memories here at Independent. I am proud of our hardworking and dedicated staff who focus on the importance of a well rounded and rigorous curriculum with an emphasis on the whole child and responding to students’ individual needs. We are committed to educational excellence, responsibility, and have a dedication to watch our students SOAR!

Students leave Independent as academically capable and intellectually curious problem-solvers. We want them to look back with a fondness of their time here and with the excitement, ability, and confidence to continue to Soar!
