Welcome to Indian Springs School, one of the top 100 private high schools in America, and the number one private high school in Alabama for the past 10 years. Indian Springs is a coeducational day and boarding school serving students in grades 8-12. Our academic excellence attracts some of the best and brightest students in the Birmingham area, the United States, and around the world.
Our 350-acre campus near Pelham provides a natural sanctuary that inspires our nationally ranked STEM program and world-class art program. Guided by our motto, “Learning through Living,” students can expect a unique educational program centered around experiential learning in an inclusive environment that fosters growth and discovery. Around 90% of our faculty hold advanced degrees and deliver exceptional teaching in our state-of-the-art classrooms.
We encourage students to pursue their passions both within and beyond the classroom. Our diverse student life offerings include special interest clubs, community service opportunities, and a strong athletic program with participation in more than 20 boys and girls varsity sports. We believe the arts are a core component of a balanced education, and our robust theater, choir, visual arts, and contemporary music programs allow students to explore and express their creativity.
Our alumnus and renowned author John Green ’95 once described Indian Springs School as a place where “all at once I became a learner because I found myself in a community of learners.” Our impact extends far beyond our campus, as we are a passionate global community of alumni, parents, and friends, connecting across generations.
We invite you to visit during our open houses on Oct. 6 and Dec. 8 and see for yourself what makes Indian Springs School so unique.
