Creek Story Magazine: Winter 2025



Relentlessly pursuing excellence through premier learning spaces, immersive experiences, outdoor education, and Creek connections!

This winter, the Indian Creek School Board of Trustees held their annual retreat and spent time reflecting on the School’s Core Values. As we looked ahead, it was also important to affirm some Key Tenets, or aspects of the ICS PK-12 experience that must remain as non-negotiables as the school continues to grow and evolve. 

In addition to affirming these aspects of our mission, the Board reviewed progress on the five-year Strategic Plan. Campus footprint, outdoor education, and continued development of Creek’s special blend of well-being and excellence are central to this vision.

As you will see in this “campus footprint” edition of the Creek Story magazine, creating more instructional space is an ongoing priority. We have made progress this year as administrative offices have moved to the hillside, creating two new classrooms in the school building. The Pavilion is up and has added an outdoor learning and gathering space. 

Over spring break, we will make two significant improvements to campus that will have an immediate impact for students: 1) the current fitness center will be transformed into “Creek Lab,” an immersive learning space for PK-12 and 2) the Dome will undergo a major upgrade, with a turf addition and dedicated fitness area.
 
As we plan for the future, ICS is committed to using our 114-acre campus more intentionally and investing in the development of a comprehensive, PK-12 Outdoor Environmental Education program, emphasizing the Creek’s relentless pursuit of educational excellence with well-being as priority.

Sincerely,

Booth Kyle
Head of School
