!! Welcome

For 40 years Brisbane Independent School has stayed true to its origins as an exemplar of alternative education in Brisbane. A non-systemic school, we reflect the needs of our current community by adapting aspects of our philosophy over time rather than staying stuck in philosophies from the last century. We believe education must reflect the zeitgeist or spirit of our times to truly engage our children for the new century.

Over the last 40 years we have been famous for providing a source for an education that is embedded in passionate learning and dynamic social change. Although many parts of our teaching and learning have changed the two tenets that have remained the same are:

* The individual's journey is at the core of the curriculum
* The individual's voice must be heard in decision-making 

Brisbane Independent School is set in idyllic semi-rural surrounds and operates within a co-operative family environment. Our mission is to nurture, develop and trust our pupils’ innate love of learning and positive values, and to produce graduates who are respectful, confident, competent and self-motivated, with the skills necessary for life-long learning in all facets of their lives.

To this end, we provide a flexible and democratic educational environment for the development of the whole child, including social, emotional, physical and cognitive development, within a school community that supports our values.
