Indie School
provides students the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment using individualised learning and education plans, tailored to each student's own education and life circumstances.
Smaller class sizes allow students greater chance to identify their strengths and work to improve areas in which they lack confidence.
The greatest difference between
Indie School
and many other alternative education settings is that our foundations lie in Adult Education philosophies.
Choice, independence, mutual respect and accountability all have a significant role to play.
In return for higher levels of self-responsibility, the students can enjoy some greater freedoms.
We are looking for teachers who can bring creativity, enthusiasm, and a commitment to student-centred learning to our team!
