I transferred to ICE during COVID for my sophomore year and the rest of high school. I was aware that remote school would be incredibly limiting for my experience, but what I didn't consider was how strong the community would be. Even over Zoom calls I found that teachers and students were incredibly connected. One part of online school that I loved and that I feel truly capture's the essence of this institution were performances organized by the music department. The director of music, Albert, would have professional, working musicians of all kinds come on a Zoom call available for all students to join, and those musicians would perform pieces or speak to students about their practice. My favorite part of these interactions was having the chance to ask questions and engage in conversation. Most students would raise their hands during these calls and excitedly discuss art with the presenters, expressing their love and passion for creativity.
Honestly, I think on paper, I.C.E is not the best school. We’ve had people get fired for for some pretty controversial stuff, not a great building , and we don’t learn a lot of math, but my experience had been great. I truly feel like those factors and the independence they provide allow me to thrive there.
ICE’s small size means students build a strong sense of community, each year working with the same people and seeing the same faces. While this can be an issue in 9-10th grade when students begin to get tiered of each other, these problems are usually pushed aside during projects. The ICE classroom is incredibly engaging, while all schools have students raise there hands and answer questions, at ICE students are encouraged to respond on others, build ideas and strive to be critical thinkers. Ice cycle projects are an excellent example of ICE’s curriculum. Some memorable ones would be the SMATH Rollercoaster and catapult projects, Spanish movie creation project, Chemistry Fire Work experiment and Soap Project. I could go on but am running out of space. My only hesitation to give this school 5 starts is how the administration often fails to solve problems. Often students who bully other students are talked to but change never made, sometimes there actions are even justified.
