Purposeful Partnership
Where Students Learn, Grow & Flourish

Our son’s love for Jesus has strengthened

and deepened since kindergarten at ICS. Academically, he's made huge strides, especially in math and spelling… his teachers have show so much love and care about his growth and shielding his heart with Biblically-based truth.
— The Guevara Family

Since joining the school, we’ve felt supported,

connected, and grateful to be part of such a caring environment for our family. Our two oldest have thrived at ICS and we are thrilled that all 4 kids will attend in the fall!
— The Bahr Family

We have seen our children thrive at ICS.

TravelTerm has been a fantastic experience for our daughter, and we are incredibly grateful to be at a school that incorporates travel and seeing the world within the academic curriculum. There is no school in the country that offers this kind of academic experience — grounded in Christian values and letting students learn so experientially.
— The Sweat Family

Our kids feel seen, loved, safe and challenged.

We are thankful for this community that has embraced our family for however long the Lord has us in this area.
— The Lake Family

I’ve had the opportunity to play on sports teams that not only loved competition,

but loved glorifying God while competing. In every season of sports I played, the most recurring thing that I heard was that our talents were not only a blessing, but a responsibility.
— ICS Alum

The ICS faculty and greater community strives to motivate children

in their growth toward knowledge and encourage their pursuit of the Lord through setting an example. Looking back over my elementary, middle, and high school years, I can clearly see how I have been inspired to learn eagerly, inspired to serve humbly, and inspired towards true godliness by the people in my life.
— Ruth, Class of 2026

A Steady Partner When Life Keeps Moving

How does ICS support families who are new to the area?

From summer playdates for incoming kindergarten and first-grade students to sponsor families and classroom ambassadors for new students in grades 2–8, ICS intentionally helps every new family feel known, connected, and at home before the school year begins.

How can we connect with other families in the school community?

Families build connections through grade-level meetups, Back-to-School Nights, our Back 2 School Picnic, volunteer opportunities, and an online family directory to help you connect with others in your area.

What resources are available to help us get acclimated before school starts?

Before school begins, families receive orientation videos, regular ParentSquare updates, and invitations to Meet & Greets, parent orientations, and an information fair to help everyone start the year with confidence.

What support is available for new students adjusting to a new school environment?

From classroom buddies and caring teachers to intentional community-building and weekly middle and high school discipleship groups, students are supported as they build friendships, grow in faith, and find their place.
