Indie School provides students the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment using individualized learning and education plans tailored to each student's circumstances. Smaller class sizes allow students to identify their strengths and work to improve areas where they lack confidence.

In return for higher levels of self-responsibility, students can enjoy greater freedoms.
