School Reviews
5   2/27/2023
We have been so happy with ICA. Their student-teacher ratio is amazing at 15:1. Children do not get lost in big groups and each child is attended to individually. For a small school of fewer than 500 students, the extracurricular activities are impressive as well as different than what most schools have to offer. Most importantly, ICA teaches good morals, uses current, real-life topics to teach, and encourages individual thinking as opposed to memorizing and repeating information.
