Tim Thomas's Company Details
Indian Springs School brings together a diverse cohort of just over 300 boarding and day students in the 8th-12th grades on a 350-acre campus where nature serves as both inspiration and laboratory. Students from more than 20 states and countries work together with Springs' 40 accomplished faculty members in a model of shared governance. Students discover their passions by taking part in everything from athletics to our renowned choir to student-run scholastic, service, and special-interest clubs. Our broad curriculum; idyllic setting; innovative independent study and virtual learning opportunities; international community; and cutting-edge, Silver LEED-certified classrooms (built in 2015) all enhance the great teaching environment that opens doors to new ideas and new possibilities. Founded in 1952 and led for its first 20 years by forward-thinking educator Dr. Louis E. “Doc” Armstrong, Springs has roots in the progressive educational philosophy of John Dewey. The school’s founding impulse also stems from a connective, expansive vision of American society and democracy. Guided by our motto, "Learning through Living," Indian Springs School fosters a love of learning and creativity, a sense of integrity and moral courage, and an ethic of participatory citizenship with respect for individuality and independent thought. Led today by Head of School Scott Schamberger, the school continues to excel, innovate, and inspire. Recognized eight years in a row by Niche as the Best Private High School in Alabama, Indian Springs was named by Business Insider in 2015 one of the smartest boarding schools in the country and in 2016 one of the "15 most beautiful schools around the world."
