The majority of our families cannot afford the tuition necessary. However, ICS parents collectively provide hundreds of service hours each year, adding to the community and team-spirit priorities of the school. Dozens of after-school, holiday, field trips and special event projects are on the calendar to enhance the success and joy of the ICS school year, and meet the larger goals of developing the whole child. There are many ways you can be a part of this incredible journey!
