Immaculate Conception School fully prepared me for my future. I had the greatest teachers who have turned into lifelong friends and mentors. It's a place for EVERYONE to belong, no matter the size or shape of your family, your religious affiliation, the color of your skin, your background, or your social class. ICS is a family centered, faith-filled community that will welcome you with open arms and teach your children how to love and be kind and caring citizens.

Immaculate Conception School is a wonderful school that challenges my child academically, but has a strong and friendly community feeling. Your child isn't just a number, the teachers and staff know all of the kids, and they recognize parents. The classes are small and well supervised, students are happy and pleasant to each other, I've seen no signs of bullying or fighting. The older students are all kind and helpful to the little kids, and I often see the students who's parents are faculty going above and beyond. You can just see that everyone cares about the school. The students have a lot of church and community involvement, and the parent volunteers do a great job with school and class special activities.
