PARENT INVOLVEMENT
It is said in Early Childhood Education that "Parents are a child's first teacher." It is the saying which drives our program's efforts to involve each child's family in their school life.

Parents are encouraged to be a part of our Pre-K classroom and our school through volunteer, observation, and other opportunities.  As a parent of a preschooler at ICS, you will have the opportunity to participate as part of our School Family.

WHY CATHOLIC EDUCATION?
Catholic schools have  specific purpose to form students to be good citizens of the world, love God & neighbor, and enrich society with the leaven of the gospel and by example of faith.

As communities of faith, Catholic schools instill in students their destiny to become saints.  Academic excellence is the hallmark of Catholic education intentionally directed to the growth of the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.  Finally, service is fundamental to Catholic education and the care of Catholic discipleship.
