  • Recommended May 23,2013 - This school is amazing. I had a blast from kindergarten to senior year. I''ve always wanted to work in the film/television industry and you''d think living in Largo that it would be a long shot, but going to Indian Rocks helped me get to Los Angeles where I work in both film and television. The teachers at IRCS were so willing to act in all my videos and that it helped me learn the art of filmmaking. They taught me how to be a leader, care for those in need, and have a great work ethic. I''m forever grateful to the teachers and faculty for being a part of making me who I am today. They''ll always be my family. I love them and keep in touch with a good amount of them on Facebook. I couldn''t recommend this school more. Go here! What are you thinking, start the paperwork! Keswick and Northside got nothing on us! (note* I don''t really have anything against them they are jut our rivals haha)*-Posted by Student/Alumni *
  • Recommended May 23,2013 - I am an alumni of Indian rocks Christian school and I truly loved it. They fully prepared me for college academically and socially (I went to USF) and I had lots of fun while I was still in high school, being involved with many sports, mission trips, music, and extracurricular activities. The atmosphere is like that of a family and even when I go back today to visit (four years later), I still get a warm welcome and Teacher''s that truly cared about me. I recommend this school to anyone that wants caring teachers, want a safe school environment, and an awesome curriculum.*-Posted by Student/Alumni *
  • Recommended October 06,2012 - This is our family''s second year at IRCS and our kids and my wife and I love the education they are recieving! My wife is a teacher, and I''m a pastor, so we''ve been around education, and Christians education, for over twenty years. The kids at IRCS are revieving a great education in a godly environment. The administration and the teachers not only have outstanding qualifications, but they also care about the kids. All three of our kids, grades 7, 8 and 12, are also involved in sports and band. Their leaders and coaches do a wonderful job instilling character values through these activities. Bottom line, we are so blessed that our children can go to IRCS!*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended April 09,2012 - IRCS is truly an awesome school. The teachers and staff are caring, encouraging and supportive.The academic coursework is challenging, and the number and variety of classes is great. The students have every opportunity to participate and excel in a variety of extracurricular activities. Our twin girls have grown in their spiritual journey with the Lord and have enjoyed traveling with their peers and staff on the school mission trips. The investment in their education at IRCS has been worth every penny!*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended March 16,2012 - We have three kids at IRCS and couldn't be happier. The school feels like an extension of our family. God is at the center of so much that they do. I am proud to see my kids growing in their relationship with the Lord and getting a quality education as well. The tuition is very reasonable compared to other Christian schools, the facilities are excellent and the teachers truly care about the kids. I look forward to my kids graduating from IRCS in the years to come.*-Posted by Parent *
