What Parents Should Know

As a private school, Indian Mountain School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
Located in a rural area, Indian Mountain School may involve longer commutes for some families.
