ICS has so many great qualities. The teachers and administrators care about every student, they listen to parents and students. The students are given opportunities to be leaders in the schools and work in the community. They are now in a newly renovated a building that allows all students to be together close to the center or the city. They are able to walk to the library and local businesses. Academically, the students are challenged and prepared for higher education.
