School Notes
At Immaculate Conception Grade School, our commitment to
excellence does not waver. We understand the importance of
setting high expectations and have resources in place (Math
Specialists, Reading Specialist, classroom differentiation,
classroom aides, social worker) to provide additional challenge or
additional assistance to those students who might be in need of
it. Again and again, we hear from high school administrators
how well prepared our students are. Our curriculum is aligned
with both the Diocese of Joliet and the State of Illinois learning
standards. Additionally we have been accredited by AdvancED,
the world's largest accrediting agency.
At ICGS we recognize our responsibility to
provide our students with a strong Catholic faith formation and
varied opportunities for worship, prayer, and service. As our
students grow, we see their faith blossom and compel them to be
people of action. Consequently, our students will go out and
make the world a better place.

Choosing ICGS for our daughters education was the best decision we have made as a family. The teachers and administration is top notch. My child has learned respect, compassion, faith, leadership along with an excellent education. IC is a family that we are proud to be part of.

ICGS was the best investment we have ever made. Along with excellent academics, our 3 children received an excellent faith foundation with an emphasis on Catholic leadership. They left the school with a solid sense of confidence along with a sense of their responsibility to make our world a better place. Each of them were well prepared in self-discipline and time management. As a result they have excelled in high school in the classroom, in athletics, and in extracurricular activities. This foundation was instrumental in providing them with excellent choices for college. We can't recommend this school highly enough.
