Life as a Student
 

Life as a Student

It is widely agreed upon that there are three features of being at Indian Springs School that make Life as a Student great.

  1. The freedom to make choices. There is a clear structure to each day at Indian Springs School, but students don't feel "programmed." You work with an advisor to select courses that are right for you. There are tons of extra-curricular activities, and you are welcome to try any of all of them … or to start a new one. You work hard, but you also know that it is okay to take a break and simply relax. In such an environment you get to know others well, as you get to know yourself better.

  2. The close relationship between students and faculty … and their spouses, and children, and dogs, and cats …. A senior who was about to graduate last year wrote the following, "Had I not attended Indian Springs, I don't know if I would have come out of my shell. I don't know what other school has such a close student-teacher relationship. Going to a teacher's house for dinner, sharing a birthday celebration, talking in the dorm circle, or watching a soccer game together. I love this school and everyone affiliated with it."

  3. The friendships that develop. At Indian Springs School you'll meet students from around the corner and around the world. Diversity is celebrated, and cliques are uncool. The school is always open, and you'll find day students coming to campus on the weekends to be with boarders, participate in activities and just hang out. The friendships that are formed here are lasting ones.
