Indian Creek School is an independent, co-ed day school in which students age 3 to Grade 12 partner with innovative teachers in an outstanding educational program. Located on a beautiful, 114-acre campus in Crownsville, Maryland (just north of Annapolis), ICS students are nurtured and known as individuals while being challenged to discover their passions, purpose, and potential. ICS students develop self-worth, the confidence to take intellectual risks, and the ability to work collaboratively, and they are prepared to live in a dynamic and global community where achievement comes not only from knowing but knowing how to learn.
