IRCS is an awesome school! The teachers and staff are caring, supportive and encouraging. The facilities are secure,and the technology used in and out of the classroom is state of the art. The coursework is challenging and the variety of courses offered is numerous; including dual credit, honors and AP courses. The students can participate and excel in any number of extracurricular activities. Our twin girls have grown in their relationship with the Lord and enjoy the school mission trips offered to the high school students. The investment in our girls' education at IRCS has been worth every penny!
We have three kids at IRCS and couldn't be happier. The school feels like an extension of our family. God is at the center of so much that they do. I am proud to see my kids growing in their relationship with the Lord and getting a quality education as well. The tuition is very reasonable compared to other Christian schools, the facilities are excellent and the teachers truly care about the kids. I look forward to my graduating for IRCS in the years to come.
I am currently a student at Indian Rocks; The teachers are amazing and really love what they do. The students, on the other hand, are just plain mean. They are cliquey and not accepting at all. They both physically and mentally abuse younger classmates. The teachers talk about the problem but don't take any action. At Indian Rocks you will get "points" for almost anything like not getting something signed or being "unprepared" for class. If you are being beat up by another student then they fail to do anything. I do not recommend this school to anyone! I feel bad for all of the kids who have to go through the abuse that they receive at this school. We are looking to transfer schools.
The staff and administration are just a phone call or email away, they always answer promptly. The academics are challenging and well-suited for each interest level. The fine arts program is excellent and the athletics program has numerous sports to choose from. The facilities are secure and very well maintained. I love that throughout the years, no matter what grades my children were in, they were on one campus. Christian character and valus are not only taught, but shown daily through the staff and administrators. Chapel services are wonderful. We love IRCS!!
We looked at private and public before choosing IRCS. Before moving here in Aug from PA, my son attended public school for 5 years and Catholic school for 4 years. He is enrolled in all honor classes and is excelling. They have Info-direct which connects the parents and students with the teachers DAILY. I would highly recommend the school!
My oldest graduated from IRCS and is doing extremely well in a private Christian University. Thank goodness for the availability of Dual Credit classes. He will graduate with a double major and two minors. I appreciate that the teachers and school leadership emphasize excellence and service.
I like how they also offer night activities and do so in a responsible way, with thier "Spot". My daughter really enjoys it
I loved being at this school unfortunitly I regret not coming to Indian Rocks Christian School earlier then I did but anyways it was the best 2 years of my life. It had some of the nicest teachers kind students it was so easy to make new friends. At first I was so shy it was hard to make friends but before I knew it everyone knew my name and I must say that I learned here at IRCS is helping today in college I learned a lot of new things it was great!
We've been at Indian Rocks Christian School since pre-k 3. It is a wonderful school teaching biblical principals that apply to daily living. The teachers are fantastic and the staff is like family. I love the fact they teach in every subject how the Lord loves them unconditionally and that is also seen on campus through staff for my child! Go Indian Rocks Christian School!
I have been attending this school since 6th grade and i must say i spent the first 3 years hating it almost every day i went there i felt targeted by the teachers and i didnt feel comfortable because of the teachers constant scanning of me they were always looking at me to see if my hair was to long or if i forgot a belt or if my shirt was tucked in. it made me hate teachers and authority for the most part because i felt like a caged animal. But with that said now that i am older i do feel it was made me a great young man i have a strong christian belief and i stay away from many of life's hangups and addictions i get along with 'almost' all my teachers and i am treated with alot of respect.I now love everyday of the school week
