IDS has remained fundamentally the same for more than fifty years. The school is living up to its mission "to inspire a community of independent thinkers who are resilient and confident to take risks." Former headmasters, teachers, parents, students, and trustees comment that IDS "feels" the same today as it always has. The teachers are still dedicated and caring. There are still children in classrooms and in the halls thinking, laughing, exploring, and enjoying their education. The Independent Day School, one of the finest private pre-school, elementary school and middle school in Middlesex County, continues to be a delightful place to come to each day.
The Independent Day School employs experienced, superbly educated faculty who hold specialty degrees in their respective disciplines. As a result, the teachers have the ability to combine subject mastery and state of the art instructional methods to create uniquely challenging academic environments. Adding to this rigorous environment is an extremely motivated student body formed through a selective admissions process.
One of the most important elements of The Independent Day School experience is the presence of a vibrant, respectful, engaged and inclusive community that values diversity in all its forms. Parents, and indeed entire families, are encouraged to become actively involved with every aspect of the school’s communal fabric. From arts and athletics to school events and field trips, the energized IDS community is in many ways the soul of the school.
