ACADEMICS

Welcome to the school year 2023-2024. We are ready to get this new year started!

We provide a Christ-centered education, and at the same time, providing academic, social, emotional, and spiritual help to our students.

Not only are academics important, but basic life skills take a high priority in our curriculum. We offer opportunities for students to help run a business. Financial planning classes are offered to help students with basic and more advanced financial concepts. We are exctied to offer 3-D printing and other technology resources. Our students are also offered a variety of opportunities to interact with community businesses through fundraising and class projects.

Independence Bible School takes pride in being state accredited by the state of Kansas. State accreditation is a process that provides official recognition of the school as having met a defined set of standards. Current accreditation regulations in Kansas are based on a school district accreditation model called Kansas Education Systems Accreditation (KESA), which was approved in 2016.

Kansans are demanding higher standards in academic skills, as well as employability and citizenship skills, and the need to move away from a “one-size-fits-all” system that relies exclusively on state assessments. This new vision for education calls for a more student-focused system that provides support and resources for individual success and will require everyone to work together to make it a reality. Through KESA schools are to focus on results and process to improve student learning.

Thank you for trusting Independence Bible School with your child's education. It is a job we take seriously and look forward to working with you.
