Invest collegiate imagine was truly a life changing experience. From the moment I transferred in my sophomore year, it was like I was in an entirely different world. The small class sizes allowed for close relationships with both students and teachers. The small school population meant I wasn’t just a number anymore. I felt more seen by my peers and teachers and because of this I developed some of the best friendships and connections I’ve ever had. I even won prom queen! It was a complete 180 from being a fish in the sea of my previous public schooling to one of the pack, knowing that my role and my actions truly made a difference in the environment around me. I made so many friends and overcame a large depressive spell all thanks to what I consider the best school in Asheville. I will never forget what ICI did for me, and I am always encouraging others to enroll themselves or their friends and family. It will truly change your life.
Because this school is a public charter, you get a wide variety of students. So, if you expect this school to be different from any other high school then don't. However, since it is a smaller class size per grade and there are not as many teachers, there is a close connection with everyone. This makes the school feel more like a community, which is something you would not get an average high school. Their grading policy is lax but it does depend on the teacher. I have been attending this school since it opened in 2014 and it has grown so much. Even though it is a k-12 school, each of the floors are divided and there is never any mixing of age groups. The experience overall is very different from a normal high school, but some students may really need that and I think this school does a good job of catering to students who are having a hard time.
I have been here since the beginning, and it has been interesting to watch the journey of it changing and growing. While the school experience sometimes varies, the teachers and staff are what make the community amazing. Perfect for people looking for a smaller, tight-knit community that includes people from all over western NC.
