We believe in growth of the entire child

Immaculata Insight: Is Your Child Ready?

We believe in growth of the entire child—growth in knowledge, character, confidence, and spirit. Is your child ready to start at ICS? The answer is yes, if your child is ready to be engaged and active in and out of the classroom.


At graduation, this is our final assessment: Is your child ready for the next academic steps? We have the privilege of sharing your greatest treasure, your children…and we take this responsibility very seriously. In the classroom, we cultivate curiosity, inquiry, and problem solving reflected in meaningful evaluations of your child’s development. We provide structured communication and assessments of the whole child.

Growth Mindset

We focus on the growth mindset—positive momentum and perseverance. We measure with academic assessments as well as social, emotional, and personal progress—but we are not driven by these summative and formative assessments.


Every child has gifts we seek to nurture for them to share with the world.
