The Independence School

A co-ed, independent day school in Newark, DE, welcoming students Age 3 through Grade 8. INDY provides an exceptionally strong academic foundation.

We encourage children to be intellectually curious in every field - arts, athletics, and academics. Our students learn independence so they can achieve their goals.

Have you crossed the new Fiss Family Bridge?

Generously donated by Mark Fiss and Marissa Schnelle (parents of Megan, Josie ‘23, and Ryan ‘26), this expanded footbridge allows our community members, as well as utility vehicles, to travel safely and effectively over the Tributary to the track, baseball, and soccer fields. We are grateful to Mark and Marissa for this meaningful contribution to the Foundation for the Future Campaign and extend our sincere thanks.

Do you miss us yet? Because we miss you.

Summer break is barely underway, and we’re already feeling nostalgic. Sharing a few favorite moments from a memorable finish to the 2025-26 school year. ❤️💙

And the crowd goes wild! 🏆

In case you missed it, the Blue Team defended their title and took home the win at this year’s competitive Field Day, making them back-to-back champs! Relive the trophy presentation with them by watching the video.

A huge shoutout to all our students for showing true teamwork and sportsmanship all day long, and thank you to Mrs. Horsey and Mr. Motta for organizing yet another unforgettable event!

Such proud classmates showing off where they’re heading next!

In just a few short days, these 8th graders will cross the stage and officially become Independence alumni before heading off to a variety of high schools in the fall. Those schools are lucky to have them, and we can’t wait to see all they accomplish in the years ahead. Soak it in, Class of 2026!
