At Indian Springs School, we believe in individualizing the educational experience. This allows students to construct their own unique, rigorous curriculum and to learn to explore their passions.
Our graduates may attend the most prestigious colleges around the country and across the world, but our approach to academics means that they discover something even more valuable—how to grow as a scholar, an individual, and a citizen.
Set on 350 idyllic acres, Indian Springs School is a resource as much as a retreat. Our Fertile Minds Learning Garden and top-quality sports facilities help feed the body. Our sustainably designed facilities help feed the mind.
Emphasizing the quality of student life, our environment embodies the values of community, responsibility, and opportunity. Whether you are on campus for the day or make it your home for the year, this is a space for exploration, education, and engagement.
Louis “Doc” Armstrong, Springs’ founding director, suggested that our important work is “to bridge the gap between what is and what might be” in the ways we learn, think, act, and participate in the wider world. This work is undergirded and extended by the generosity of all who share our mission.
Every gift makes a difference. Regardless of your age or situation, we have a means of giving to the school that suits your circumstances. Our Advancement staff stands ready to help.
Five Indian Springs Seniors Named Presidential Scholar Candidates
Five Indian Springs Seniors have been selected as candidates for the United States Presidential Scholars Program: Aviva Goldberg ’25, Alex Hage ’25, Ibrahim Hamo ’25, Audrey Wang ’25, and Samuel White ’25.
Only 111 students from Alabama and approximately 5,000 students nationwide were selected as candidates from the nearly 3.9 million students expected to graduate from U.S. high schools in 2025.
As one of the nation's highest honors for high school students, students may apply by invitation only based on academic achievements, mainly SAT and ACT scores, or through artistic ability or accomplishments in career and technical education fields. Candidates are then selected based on superior academic achievement, personal characteristics, leadership and service activities, and an analysis of essays written during the application process.
Approximately 650 Candidates will be named Semifinalists, and of those, up to 161 students will be named U.S. Presidential Scholars and will have the opportunity to attend a White House-sponsored recognition ceremony in Washington, D.C., this June.
Established in 1964, the Presidential Scholars Program seeks to recognize some of the country’s most distinguished graduating seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative, and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields.
Congratulations Aviva, Alex, Ibrahim, Audrey, and Samuel!
