As a rising senior, I know that my education at ICS has shaped me into the person I am. From 6th grade to the present, ICS has continued to challenge and engage me with its rigorous coursework (all honors classes). Each year builds upon what I have learned in the previous years, which has allowed me to excel in my classes. The teachers are amazing and dedicated to what they do. Although I may have missed out on some of the larger social aspects associated with a larger school, the small community at ICS is fun to be a part of, as you get to know everyone on an individual basis, including teachers, fellow students, and underclassman over the course of 6 years. There are lots of opportunities for mentorship and leadership with the clubs and activities here as well. ICS isn't the right school for everyone, but it definitely is for me and I'm glad I go here!
ICS is definitely not for everyone, but if you are prepared to put in a LOT of time and effort into your schoolwork, it prepares you really well for college and beyond in terms of academics and time management. While you won’t get the sports, electives, or wide variety of classes of a normal high school, the community, clubs, and academics are outstanding. Most teachers are pretty good, and a few are excellent.
Side note: parents, please don’t force your kids to go to ICS if they hate it! I know lots of kids who are miserable, and they would be much happier and more successful at a regular high school. Then, someone else who really wants to be here could also get their spot.

Love the close-knit community and deeper-level academics. Not for all students, though- must be passionate about liberal arts to thrive in a full experience, and students need to be strong academically and know how to manage a large homework load. The school doesn't have as many clubs and activities due to it's smaller size, but the ones that are offered can suit a variety of students. Plus, because there are less students, you have a higher chance of having a larger role in a club. Communication from administration to parents and students is bumpy and slow, however.
