The Philosophy of the Independent School of the Mid-South

Perspectives of education are often based on the current state of the various forms of schooling: public private charter alternative etc. Parents and policymakers worry over scores placement and our overall place in the world. If however and understanding may be built upon the needs of the future citizen and of the independence so desperately sought by the individual a new perspective may be born.The Independent School of the Mid-South is a school whose individual approach is deeply rooted in the idea that learning is exploratory and deeply personal. Additionally the independent approach to education also reaches into the boundaries of possibility regarding the industry of our nation's youth. Entrepreneurship and the self-directed self-guided mixed-aged approach to learning combined with consequential self-government represent the foundation of the ISM approach but the most striking aspect of an education at ISM is exposure to Evidence-Based Inquiry and its proprietary method of instruction based on Classical Antiquity and the latest neuroscience.
