At The Independent School, education is more than academics- it’s a journey rooted in discovery, growth, and purpose. We believe in nurturing the whole child: intellectually, emotionally, socially, and ethically. With small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a personalized approach, every student is truly seen, supported, and challenged to grow.

From our youngest learners to our graduating seniors, TIS students are encouraged to think critically, lead with integrity, and care deeply about their communities. Grounded in strong academics, rich arts experiences, and a commitment to character, our graduates leave prepared not only for college- but for a life of impact and meaning.

Discover a school where curiosity thrives, potential is nurtured, and individuality is celebrated.

Your Child is Known at TIS

 

Every morning, there’s a moment of trust. You’re trusting that someone will really know your child. How they think, what drives them, and what they need to grow. At The Independent School in Wichita, relationships come first. Students are known, supported, and challenged in ways that help them grow with confidence from early childhood through high school. This message from incoming Head of School Jessica Stong reflects what families experience every day at TIS.

“TIS helped my child find their voice and confidence. We couldn't imagine a better place to grow.” – TIS Parent

We believe every child holds limitless potential—and we’re here to help them discover it. From our youngest learners in the Early Learning Center to our college-bound seniors, students thrive in a nurturing environment that celebrates curiosity, compassion, and courage.

At The Independent School, learning is personal. With small class sizes, dedicated educators, and a whole-child approach, we equip students not just for academic achievement but for lives of purpose and impact. Whether they’re exploring ideas in STEM, creating in the arts, or leading with integrity, our students are empowered to grow into confident thinkers and compassionate leaders.

We honor what makes each child unique. Whether your student is a budding scientist, an expressive artist, a thoughtful observer, or a bold change-maker, they’ll find the space, support, and inspiration to become exactly who they’re meant to be.

This is more than a school—it’s a connected community where individuality is celebrated and every student is truly seen, known, and valued.

A school where you can be Uniquely You. Uniquely Independent.
