Inside TIS Blog

A group photo from Back-to-School Night got us thinking about the small moments that make a school community feel much bigger than its enrollment. Read our latest reflection on what it means for kids to grow up with this many people in their corner.

Jessica Stong reflects on the return of Upper School boys soccer and what it means to build something from the ground up. From zero committed players last spring to 17 this fall, the team is a reminder of what can happen when students and coaches believe, keep showing up, and are willing to be the ones who begin.

At TIS, we believe academic excellence is about helping every child discover what they are capable of becoming. In this month’s “What I’m Reading,” I reflect on Adam Grant’s Hidden Potential and the research that continues to shape our approach to teaching, learning, and student growth.

I'm honored to serve as Head of School and excited to partner with you. My vision for TIS is simple: every student should be known, challenged, and feel a true sense of belonging. We'll pursue academic excellence while nurturing character, curiosity, joy, and community.

Admissions Director Sumer Crane reflects on how her family discovered The Independent School and why helping other families find that same sense of belonging is so meaningful.
