What can hinder a child from succeeding in school – and later in life?  Out of all the factors that can impact success, fear may be the greatest of all.  Fear of failing.  Fear of success.  Fear of trying something new.  Fear of being left out.  Fear of standing out.  Fear of being yourself.


 


So at The Independent Day School we work to remove fear from the equation.  Exploring interests and curiosities is encouraged.  Being yourself is celebrated.  The result is, students who are fearless at school.  Brave.  Confident.  Eager.  Curious.  Upbeat.  Better prepared every day to tackle challenges, push their limits, explore their capabilities and discover their true interests and potential.


 


IDS is a dynamic educational environment, where students and learning experiences are diverse.  Where arbitrary markers of achievement are not the focus.  Rather, we keep our students at the center of their education.


 


If this sounds like a learning environment that you and your child would embrace, I encourage you to visit our school.  Meet with our faculty, see our campus and hear from our students and their parents about why they chose IDS.  We look forward to helping you explore your options.

Owners really need to pick up their dog's waste. It is a major polluter of the Long Island Sound.Read More Whenever your dog drops one and you leave it, think of that fish, lobster, or shellfish you ate from the Sound! Enjoy eating your dog poop bacteria!

I'm so lucky!! For 10 years my dogs have frolicked safely in the back part of Bauer - away from theRead More roads, traffic and homes - closer to the back of the HS. I have never heard any dogs bark or 'yap', never saw a dog run into the gardens and destroy the plots, never saw a dog fight or kids being assaulted and luckily avoided all the poop they are leaving behind although I do dodge the deer pellets. My timing must be stellar to avoid all the bad dogs, their dismal behavior and threats to others. Whew!!

The whole state is tick infested. Luckily, dogs can use a product called Frontline Top Spot or itsRead More cheaper generic equivalent, which completely protects them from ticks and fleas. On the shoreline to Middletown, you should be using it on your dog year round. I once saw a deer tick crawling on SNOW in Madison near the Country School in February. The Lyme vacine is ineffective in most canines and most canines that get Lyme, shake it off in time - unlike humans. Top Spot keeps the ticks off or dead for the humans that pet the dog. Regardless, dogs running on cut grass some distance from woods or taller grass won't encounter many if any ticks. Especially if the outer perimeter of the fence is treated in spring and fall.
