At Indian Springs School, we believe in individualizing the educational experience. This allows students to construct their own unique, rigorous curriculum and to learn to explore their passions.
Our graduates may attend the most prestigious colleges around the country and across the world, but our approach to academics means that they discover something even more valuable—how to grow as a scholar, an individual, and a citizen.
Boarding has always been at the heart of Indian Springs School. Today, this experience continues to foster friendships, enhance personal responsibility, and create diverse educational opportunities. Learning through Living embodies potential. You can explore these possibilities through immersing yourself in on-campus life.
Whether you prefer an extra hour in the library, laughter over a dinner with friends, or both, boarding at Indian Springs School means making a choice to slow down, and to step up—to take the time to engage with people, with a place, and with a sense of purpose.
Set on 350 idyllic acres, Indian Springs School is a resource as much as a retreat. Our Fertile Minds Learning Garden and top-quality sports facilities help feed the body. Our sustainably designed facilities help feed the mind.
Emphasizing the quality of student life, our environment embodies the values of community, responsibility, and opportunity. Whether you are on campus for the day or make it your home for the year, this is a space for exploration, education, and engagement.
Louis “Doc” Armstrong, Springs’ founding director, suggested that our important work is “to bridge the gap between what is and what might be” in the ways we learn, think, act, and participate in the wider world. This work is undergirded and extended by the generosity of all who share our mission.
Every gift makes a difference. Regardless of your age or situation, we have a means of giving to the school that suits your circumstances. Our Advancement staff stands ready to help.
Five Students Featured in Congressional Art Gallery
Sophia Graham ’24, Boris Gueorguiev ’23, Kimely Li ’23, Lai’ana Reeves ’24, and Ivy Spence ’24 represented Indian Springs School in the 2022 Congressional Art Competition and will be featured in a Virtual Art Gallery on the website of Rep. Gary Palmer, who represents Alabama’s 6th Congressional District.
The Congressional Art Competition is a nationwide high school visual arts competition sponsored by the U.S. House of Representatives and the Congressional Institute. The goal is to recognize and encourage artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Since the competition began in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students have participated. Students submit entries to their representative’s office, and a panel of district artists selects the winning entries.
