Indian Mountain School

Lakeville
Connecticut
United States

Overview

Indian Mountain School is a community where all members lead and contribute; where friends and rivals treat each other with respect; where students take risks, fall down, and get back up again, often with the helping hand of a classmate or teacher; where relationships with teachers are strong, specific, supportive, and challenging; where each child is known and believed in deeply by a tapestry of teachers, coaches, and advisors that support them. At IMS, we challenge our students to think beyond themselves, encouraging them to look to those around them and their shared future. Each student at IMS is a future contributor, problem solver, and member of the global community. We seek to develop in them the empathy, compassion, and awareness necessary to realize that potential.
