Immaculate Conception has been the answer to our family's prayers. Our son has been asked to leave several other private schools in the area. Immaculate Conception embraced his neurodivergent tendencies with love, compassion, and understanding. The teachers have worked with him and helped him develop positive coping skills when he feels frustrated or angry.
