Independent Schools do not officially belong to any international organization. In general, they do not worship or follow the personality of any Master, and teach the doctrine without modification.
The major advantage of independent schools is that they do not need to participate in the politics of the international organizations, which can often be a big distraction and the cause of infighting.
Accordingly, a good independent school does not look to gain followers, thus they are not always the most popular or widely known outlet of the doctrine of Samael Aun Weor.
