School Reviews

The school has made huge improvements with the new principal. She is on top of any issues that arise and resolves them quickly. I am happy that the school is small because I can reach the teachers for any questions and ask for help for my child in her academics if needed. They are very receptive to parents' concerns. I recommend ICS.

My oldest daughter has been at ICS since the 2nd grade. Mrs. Lamassa is the new principal at ICS and has brought so much goodness to ICS since her arrival. She caring and welcomes all suggestions. She replies promptly back to emails. The kids look forward to going to school and happy to greet Mrs. LaMassa. She is a breathe of fresh air and I'm so happy to have her as our new principal. I must add that all of the teachers are ready to answer any of your questions and concerns regarding any subjects. They are all great! Both of kids are happy to be part of the ICS family.

ICS is one of the best choices I ever made for my children. Professional teachers, great school culture, exceptional academics, and creative after-school clubs. My children enjoy learning and growing in faith and community. Thank you ICS!

As a mother of 3, I can honestly say how amazing this school is. My husband graduated from ICS many many years ago our children have been baptized by the church and we got married there as well. When it came to thinking about where we would put our kids when it came to school it was an easy decision for us. From the office staff at ICS to the teachers -- everyone here treats you with so much respect and takes care of your children as if they were their own. The teachers pay really close attention to my child's individual needs and provide helpful feedback on how to help my child for a successful school year. Between the rigorous education my daughters receive they also have exceptional extracurricular activities. From STEM, STEAM, library, art, gym, music and so much more my daughters not only get to learn so much but enjoy their days at school. Their after-school clubs and activities along with an amazing aftercare program - we made the best decision ever and have built a wonderful community.

My daughter began attending ICS in the second grade. She is now in the fifth grade, and I could not be happier that we moved to this school. Every teacher she has had has been kind, responsive, and invested. Mrs. LaMassa, becoming the principal has been a wonderful blessing to our school. She is friendly and approachable and clearly cares about the school and students. The most important element of school for me personally is the overall environment. I know my daughter is surrounded by good people in a safe environment. She is thriving at ICS and I highly recommend this school both academically and socially.

ICS is an amazing school. The teachers and administration truly care about the children. I have four children at the school, ranging from pre-k to 8th and we are really happy here. There is a nice balance between academic curriculum and engagement throughout the day. The enrichment programs really help my children excel in school. Art, music, library, PE, and technology are all incorporated into the school days to ensure a balance between academics and arts.

This is our first year having our two daughters at ICS. We have one in Pre-K 4 and the other in the 1st grade. Our experience has been nothing but a breath of fresh air. The sense of community and the fantastic school culture is palpable. My girls are learning and have a sense of belonging in their school. The teachers go above and beyond and are an integral part of the school culture as well. Our littlest one had a difficult time transitioning to school, but Ms. Fink, Mrs. Fink, and Mrs. Morra made it much easier for her. My husband and I have full confidence our girls will become lifelong learners while also being shaped into upstanding adults with morals.

Mmaculate Conception is an exceptional Catholic school. The teachers are highly qualified and on a par with any local school, public, private or parochial. I have heard many people disparage parochial schools for their perceived lack of technology, arts or other "extras", however ICS proves that Catholic schools can have all of that and more! The blended learning program with 1:1 chromebooks, smart boards, instrumental music, fine arts, musical performances as well as an exceptional choir are just a few of the bonuses to the rigorous academics. Above all, it is the loving, supportive, extended community that I value the most. My family has been exponentially blessed by the friendships made at ICS.

ICS focuses on high academic standards but also creates a safe and loving environment for all children. My son is in 5th grade now and he has been attending ICS since Pre K 4. He loves going to school. The faculty and staff is wonderful, and the leadership of our amazing principal makes this school exceptional. ICS implements technology so learning is actually fun. Students use Chromebook, smart boards, smart tables, and drones, just to name a few. At the same time, children also learn traditional values. They are taught to love their neighbors through service projects and other hands-on activities. ICS also has a brand new gym and a wonderful campus where children can play during recess. This school is truly an Incredible Catholic School, and I highly recommend it!

Immaculate Conception School has amazing teachers and outstanding academics. It is a truly wonderful community where my children have made lifelong friends. The school not only provides a solid foundation in all academic areas, it also has a phenomenal choir, art, music, instrumental instruction and athletics. Track, softball, basketball, archery, before and aftercare are just a few of the "extras" offered.

A true gem among Catholic and private schools in Westchester. My daughter went to school here for 10 years-Pre K through 8th grade. The teachers are excellent, highly qualified, and dedicated. The school is on the cutting edge of technology-they've been 1:1 for more than five years with Chromebook. So many service and extracurricular opportunities including archery, volleyball, basketball, coding, robotics, chess, soccer and more! Our daughter received an excellent foundation in the Catholic faith and all the devotions. Highly recommend!

Immaculate Conception has provided an amazing elementary school educational experience for our 2 daughters over the last 8 years. The teachers and faculty are caring, and the focus on faith-based education helps the students reach their full potential. The structure, discipline, and academics have prepared our children for their next steps into high school. The ICS technology program is second to none. From Blended learning in early elementary to use of Google Classroom and student owned Chrome Books in junior high, technology is incorporated into all facets of learning. The large campus, school gym and access to the church are incredible benefits. Pre-K programs are available as well as a wealth of after-school activities and sports.We have enjoyed the supportive and involved community and we have made lifelong friends. ICS is definitely an Incredible Catholic School, and we highly recommend it.

I went to ICS and I am now 58 years old. It certainly gave the foundation in life to get through life. My faith is as strong today as it was in kindergarten... Is there anywhere I could get my kindergarten picture that was taken in 1960?
