Indian Mountain School
Indian Mountain Co-ed Boarding School Information:
Indian Mountain School provides a traditional education for boys and girls from pre-kindergarten through grade nine in a boarding and day environment. We promote moral growth and personal academic excellence in a setting that fosters a respect for learning, the environment, and each other. We celebrate our international and culturally diverse community. We guide and challenge students through balanced elementary and middle school scholastic, athletic, and arts curricula, combining instruction and coaching with a system of personal support. We involve students in our Adventure Education and community service programs, which tie into the spirit of IMS. We help our students gain confidence in their own innate abilities and develop the necessary academic and personal skills to be successful in secondary education.
The combination of day and boarding students at IMS deepens the daily experience for all. We are not only a school, but also a home for everybody, students and faculty alike, whether they actually live on campus or not. We are enriched by a diverse collection of students from across the country and also welcome a group of international students to Lakeville, Connecticut. The cultural exchange allows students young and old to share information about their own experiences and learn more about the world. Most of our dedicated faculty members live on our Upper Campus. To them, Indian Mountain isn’t just their workplace, it is their home. You can feel that commitment in their work.
A well-defined and articulated set of values--honesty, compassion, respect, and service--is at the heart of Indian Mountain School.
Enjoy. Relax. Belong.
"Our Residential Life Program encourages students, and the adults in our world, to get to know each other better in a relaxed and friendly environment; we exchange stories, catch up on recent events, and share daily experiences."
--Veronica McMahon, Director of Residential Life
