My family started at ICS the year it opened and my last child will be graduating this year. We have loved every minute of our time there. The staff, teachers and principal are invested in making certain every child has the opportunity to reach their potential in a supportive environment.

ICS is a great school--the teachers, staff, and principal have created a safe and supportive learning environment. The Warrior Ways principle promotes safe, respectful, and responsible behaviour (students can receive "Warrior Way" notes from any teacher if they are seen following these 3 principles). I also love that it's a K-8 school which offers numerous opportunities for students from all grades to interact...the "big" kids don't seem so scary to the Kindergarteners/1st graders.

ICS is a great school, where all staff, from principal to teachers to all office staff are friendly, supportive of students and create an atmosphere where each student feels welcome and an important member of the ICS community.

I have been going to ICS since I was in 2nd grade, and next year I am graduating. I love ICS, the teachers are great and so are the students.

My kids go to this school and we love it, the calendar works great and there are a variety of classes offered for those parents that need care for their children during intersession.

I go to this school, and I think that the calendar is great the way it is set up. Over the summer, I don't forget as much information as I used to, and I get vacations when other kids normally don't. It is great! I think every child should try going to a year round school for at least a year, because chances are, you'll fall in LOVE with it!

We had all three kids go thru ICS, beginning the year it opened as a year round calendar. We are now in the last year for the last child. ICS has some of the most dedicated teachers I have ever met. There are many that have been there since the beginning. There is a true feeling of family and the support of / from the staff has really been a great asset. The schools open door policy really helps make communication a two way street, and that makes one reason the school is #1

I love this school!! The teachers are very involved in the education of each child. A very progressive way of learning. The unity of the staff as well as parents and students is unlike I have ever seen.

The ICS teachers and staff treat you like family. They are always available if you have any questions, and will work with students after school on subjects they have difficulty in. Communiction between parents and teachers is excellent. Contacting teachers is as easy as a phone call or thru email, their email addresses are conviently posted on the school web site.

We love this school, they truly care about your child and the year round schedule works great for me as a working parent. I like that my son has the same teacher for 2 years and that he will not have to attend a middle school before moving on to high school. The LD program is excellent.
