The Independent Hill School is a special education school within the Prince William County Public Schools. The facility, led by six instructional staff members, serves special needs students in the middle school and high school age ranges from throughout the county.

Located within a former Air Force radar station that was deeded to the county, the school is named for the area, Independent Hill. The school is located adjacent to the densely-populated administrative center for the district.

Students enrolled at Independent Hill engage in a specialized curriculum that provides both academic and vocational instruction. Students are able to participate in a variety of programs, including the management of an on-site food service establishment, a commercial kitchen located on-site, a full laundry, institutional and custodial services, adaptive physical education, an on-site commercial greenhouse, school-work programs, and an equestrian facility with barn and horses. (The latter lending to the school's mascot, the colt.)

Academic and vocational instruction is stated by the district to include technology, modeling, logical thinking, workshops, community job site instruction, and work with support specialists. Physical training include sports and leisure activities, self-help, and regular participation in the Special Olympics.

The trophy case at the front of the school features several awards from the Special Olympics, conferred upon Independent Hill School students.

Additionally, the school's mission statement states that it provides methods to stimulate emotional well-being, such as the teaching of respect for self and others, the development of health self-esteem, enhanced coping mechanisms, and adaptability to change.

The enrollment of the school is usually a few dozen students. Graduating classes are usually single-digit. (For example, the IHS graduating class of 2001 included two students.)
