The Independence School, an independent co-educational day school for age three through grade eight, was founded in 1978 by parents seeking a challenging education that would be strong in the academic areas, arts, foreign languages, and athletics. Today, the school occupies a 90-acre campus in Newark, Delaware and features a 900-seat auditorium, a library/media center, acoustically designed music rooms, science laboratories, a full-size gymnasium, multi-purpose rooms, meeting spaces, art rooms and a gallery. The School reflects and emphasizes traditional American values in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
