Welcome from the Head of School
“Indian Creek is the premier independent school in the Annapolis area where kindness is currency, well-being is priority, and excellence in education is relentlessly pursued.” – ICS Vision Statement
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the Creek. We're here to inspire authenticity, connection and curiosity for students so that they can reach their full potential in school - and in life. That's why we exist.
We aspire to be a community that really takes care of its students. We hope that when you are welcomed here, you feel the kindness that we often talk about, a feeling that is rooted in communication, honesty, and respect. At the Creek, these are the ingredients that ensure students are able to bring their authentic selves to school every day, and are able to learn in an environment where they feel valued and important.
We also hope that you see that excellence abounds in a community that celebrates successes of all kinds - culminating projects, outstanding performances, gritty effort, college acceptances, or simply the realization of a goal or distinction.
As a school that that enrolls new students to the Lower, Middle and Upper School levels, you'll find that your introduction will be focused on aspects of our school that are of value and importance to you, for whatever stage of the educational journey you're in now.
You can trust that you've landed in a good place, and we hope to see you on campus soon.
