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 commitment to academic excellence attracts some of the brightest students from the Birmingham area, across the United States, and around the world.
Our 350-acre campus near Pelham provides a natural sanctuary that inspires both our nationally ranked STEM program and world-class arts program. Guided by our motto, Learning through Living, students experience a unique educational approach centered around experiential learning in an inclusive environment that fosters growth and discovery. Approximately 90% of our faculty hold advanced degrees and deliver exceptional instruction in our state-of-the-art classrooms.
We encourage students to pursue their passions both inside and outside the classroom. Our diverse student life offerings include special interest clubs, community service opportunities, and a strong athletics program with participation in more than 20 varsity sports for boys and girls. We also believe the arts are a vital component of a balanced education. Our robust theater, choir, visual arts, and contemporary music programs allow students to explore and express their creativity.
Alumnus and renowned author John Green ‘95 once described Indian Springs 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 campus, uniting a global community of alumni, parents, and friends across generations.
We invite you to visit during our upcoming Preview Days on Sept. 20 and Dec. 6 to see what makes Indian Springs School so unique.
