Perspectives of education are often based on the current state of the various forms of schooling: public, private, charter, alternative, etc. Parents and policymakers worry over scores, placement, and our overall place in the world. If, however, and understanding may be built upon the needs of the future citizen and of the independence so desperately sought by the individual, a new perspective may be born. The Independent School of the Mid-South is a school whose individual approach is deeply rooted in the idea that learning is exploratory and deeply personal. Additionally, the independent approach to education also reaches into the boundaries of possibility regarding the industry of our nation's youth. Entrepreneurship and the self-directed, self-guided, mixed-aged approach to learning, combined with consequential self-government, represent the foundation of the ISM approach, but the most striking aspect of an education at ISM is exposure to Evidence-Based Inquiry and its proprietary method of instruction based on Classical Antiquity and the latest neuroscience.
