The ICS Difference

What Makes ICS Stand Out

• Award Winning Program
• Preschool Age 3 - Grade 8
• Full Day Pre-K & Kindergarten
• Catholic Faith Based Education
• Outstanding Academics
• Fine and Performing Arts, Extra Curriculars & Sports
• Before & After Care
• STEM & Tech Initiatives
• Small Classroom Instruction
• Tight-knit, Supportive Community

SMALL CLASS INSTRUCTION

• the chance for assignments to be more hands-on
• increased feedback and attention from teachers
• the chance for children to participate more in lessons
• more opportunity for students to learn from their peers.

The National Education Association believes that “The proven long-term benefits of reducing class sizes—achievement gains and higher graduation rates—should help determine our priorities. The long-term consequences of not reducing class sizes will have a negative impact on our children’s futures.” 

CHAMPIONING TALENTED LEARNERS

Did you know that 81% of our students in grades 3-8 make the Honor Roll?

The importance of academic achievement starts early and goes beyond celebrating a report card of good grades.

“Academic achievement is important for the successful development of young people in society. Students who do well in school are better able to make the transition into adulthood and to achieve occupational and economic success.”

HIGH STUDENT INVOLVEMENT

Did you know that 86% of our students participate in school sponsored activities, including our Bulldog Sports Program, the ICS Theater Program, NJHS, & Student Council?

Does participation in afterschool programs make a difference?

“The short answer is yes… A decade of research and evaluation studies, as well as large-scale, rigorously conducted syntheses looking across many research and evaluation studies, confirms that children and youth who participate in after school programs can reap a host of positive benefits in a number of interrelated outcome areas—academic, social/emotional, prevention, and health and wellness.”

“Non-academic sports and the performing arts influence achievement. They include confidence in one’s capabilities, the ability to manage stress effectively, and the capacity to focus and block out distractions.” 

“Experts in child advancement suggest that participation in extracurricular activities on a regular basis is the best way to help children develop their individual personality, cut down on emotional stress, and enhance social or academic skills that could benefit them in the future. Psychologists even recommend after school activities as the preferred choice over confidence-building classes.”
