Independence High School's philosophy club. Non-curricular. Student-led. Open to everyone.
IndyPhilo was founded at Independence High School in Frisco, Texas by students who believe that philosophy isn't just an ancient academic discipline. It's the most practical tool a young person can develop.
We are highschoolers interested in the discipline of philosophy. We understand the multi-faceted nature of philosophy and are striving to make it applicable to all.
