Black River Independent School

Black River Independent School graduates have the confidence, resourcefulness and skills to pursue a life of purpose, personal fulfillment and ongoing learning.

We offer a challenging and meaningful academic program that balances: active exploration, adventure, interrelated curriculum, authentic and joyous engagement.

We cultivate the personal qualities of each student to become a wholehearted human being with integrity, open communication, strong moral character, physical well being, and appreciation of creativity.

We instill an appreciation of the relationships between individuals, societies and the natural world. We embrace and role model the principles of democratic governance, stewardship of the environment, respect for human dignity, and service as a way of life.

By providing an atmosphere of intellectual, artistic, and physical challenge within the warmth of a nurturing community, we develop in our students the confidence and skills they will need  to meet the complexities of their future.
