This was the best decision we could have made for our children. ICA is a great school. The teachers are amazing. They hold the children to high standards, academically and socially. They are also supportive and helpful to all of their students. The facilities are beautiful. I love that all of the grades (Preschool through 8th) have recess every day.

Transferring my children to ICA from public school was the best decision I have ever made. The staff is fabulous. The school is well structured with religious values, morals, and lessons corresponding with state standards curriculum. The staff and children are like a family. My children have excelled due to ICA. The school provides enrichment with hands-on learning which has been taken from the public school sector. Starting in 4th grade the students begin Spanish. There are private music lessons available. Sporting activities offered. The tuition is very affordable compared to other private schools within the area. It is evident that child safety and learning are a top priority at ICA.
