elcome to the Lower School!

I am a traveler and a seeker of new adventures and discoveries. I thrive on experiencing the mysteries of different cultures and on encountering fresh ideas and viewpoints. Often, there is an expert guide to provide insight into something different. At The Independent School we have skilled guides in the form of master teachers to lead students into unfamiliar yet inspiring territory. TIS is privileged to have creative teachers who desire to share the world with their students. They encourage them to stretch their limits and to strive for ambitious objectives. Teachers in all grades and subject areas guide their students into a place of self-discovery and new knowledge. They foster the concept of going beyond a student’s everyday environment.

Mark Twain said ‘Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.’

The Independent School is a great place for students to experience the world.  I look forward to meeting you and working together in the education of your children!
