We have been a part of an immaculate, conception school for 12 years. My oldest has gone on to a very prestigious high school and is excelling, both academically and socially. We couldn`t be happier with it.ICS, the teachers are incredibly caring and the community is wonderful. best of all our children are learning and growing in a school that also teaches faith.

My daughter has been at ICS since grade K and is currently in 6th grade. ICS has provided an amazing experience for her. I am grateful, every day for the principal, teachers, clergy, support staff, parents, and students. It takes a village and my daughter's blessed by all of this. She has been challenged in her classes, but successful. There is art, music, school plays, and the ever-popular knock-out tournament! She has been an altar server since 2nd grade, participates in student council, and was sponsored by ICS for a forensics debate meet for the first time last year. Her teacher carved out extra time to coach her! We love ICS!

As a product of Catholic education, I wanted my daughter to experience the same faith-centered sense of community that I was fortunate to have growing up. From the time she began attending ICS as a preschooler, I knew that this was the exact environment I was seeking: a school that would not only provide her with a stellar education but also one that would reinforce the values we teach in our home and surround her with classmates that will become lifelong friends and a community that is like a family. Every one of her teachers has gone out of her way to make our daughter feel loved and special. I have loved getting to know the wonderful ICS parents, many of whom have become dear friends. My husband and I are truly thankful that we decided to send our only child to Immaculate Conception School. We know that this special place will play a crucial role in the development of the person she becomes.

All of my children attended ICS from pre-school through 8th grade. The loving and respectful environment was key to their happiness and both kids and parents met many lifelong friends here. The education is top-notch with well-qualified teachers and opportunities for all academic levels to thrive. It served my 3 very well during rigorous college prep high school years. Sending our children to ICS was a great decision and the financial sacrifice was well worth it!

Academics are paramount, and those are no worries at ICS. A challenging curriculum coupled with solid and very available private and free academic support gives me peace of mind that my child won't ever fall behind. The children are pleasant and well-mannered. I am happy that ICS is a working parents dream. Free before care and inexpensive pay-as-you-go aftercare. Any extracurriculars you could want from pre-k to 8 are offered on site at school after hours for a seamless day. Even though I work, my kids can still go to all the extracurriculars I would never be able to drive them around town to otherwise!

I am thrilled with the quality of education that my two children received while at ICS. They were well prepared for high school. Both were able to take honors and AP classes and they were successful in them. My oldest is in college now and is grateful for the education and experience, as well as the friends he made while at ICS.
