The sudden outbreak of the historically deadly disease Covid-19 shook the entire world. This situation challenged the education system around the globe and forced educators to shift to a different learning modality of teaching. Gradually, we can all recover from that situation, especially learners, through different interventions, and one could be through independent learning. This study aimed to assess the perception of students on independent learning practices and support services and their correlation to historical thinking skills. The participants were 66 students from the Dagatan National High School grader class. The quantitative data were collected from the survey questionnaires and test questions measured by using a rating scale instrument. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized to analyze the data. Pearson r was used to find the correlation among the variables. Independent learning practices include Self-Motoring, Self-Instruction, Goal-setting, and Self-reinforcement, and its Support services include Moral, Material, and financial. These factors got an acceptable mean and standard deviation with an interpretation of “agree”/ “practiced”. Assessing the Historical thinking skills of the respondents with Understanding Chronology, discovering evidence, Interpretation, Creating Imagination, and Rationalization also resulted in a positive level of proficiency, showing that the respondents can adapt to independent learning. As to the relationship between independent learning practices and support services and historical thinking skills, findings revealed that self-monitoring is significantly relative to Historical Thinking skills in terms of Discovering evidence, creating Imagination, and rationalization, while self-instruction has no significant relationship with each of the Historical thinking skills. However, Goal setting is significantly related to creating Imagination, and to rationalization. No significant relationship was shown between self-reinforcement to historical thinking skills. Generally, support services are not significantly related to historical thinking skills.     Keywords: Independent learning practices support services historical thinking skills
