A school where children can thrive, grow, and succeed—isn’t that the dream of all parents for their children? At The Independent School (TIS), this is more than just an idea; it is ingrained in the rich history and daily practices of this exceptional educational institution. From the visionary leadership of Jean Garvey at its inception, TIS has embraced education as holistic, opportunity-driven, and built around the strengths each student brings.
College Prep at The Independent School
At TIS, a personalized approach shines through small class sizes and a rigorous curriculum where teachers engage students in active learning. Embracing the classical definition of learning as “a permanent change in behavior,” TIS equips students to master essential skills like reading and math through effective encoding and retrieval strategies.
Coordination across Lower, Middle, and Upper School ensures a seamless intellectual growth experience. Key concepts introduced early are revisited with increasing complexity, preparing students for challenging AP courses and, ultimately, college acceptance.
