This is our 1st year @ IACS and our child loves it, the enthusiasm and zeal for learning has returned and improved in just a few short weeks. We like the overall attitude and environment and of course the 4 day school week. It is great to see the principal so visible, accessible and involved with the staff, parents and students. It is a fantastic alternative to regular public school. Keep it up staff!
I attended Independence Academy for 3 out of $ years in m y high school carreer. for the first two years it was an amazing school; however, once the leadership was transferred to Damon Lockhart, this school has fallen horribly. I watched students lose moral and rebel as Lockhart's horrible choices affected all those attempting to learn. What once was a great, open, beautiful learning environment is now no better than the harsh, judgmental, and bland public schooling experience.
Atteding this school has made a world of difference for my kids and step-kids. My oldest son for example was having serious behavior issues in a the 'regular' public school he attended until halfway through second grade. His problem came from finishing his work ahead of the other students, and not being given anything to do so he became disruptive. He just finished 4th grade, and is excelling wonderfully, doing 6th grade reading and math. Their father and I were so impressed by his improvement, that we did not bother with the regular public school for our younger son who has now finished kindergarten and is expected to be doing 2nd grade work for some subjects this next school year. I love how hands on and involved the teachers are, and how the school has a feeling of being a large extended family. I recomend this school to others frequently.
