Attendance at Immaculata is a privilege
Come see the ICS DIFFERNCE!
Immaculata is an intentionally small, private Catholic school for PreK to 8th grade students. We are not exclusively for the top 0.5% of students nor for the top 0.5% income-earning families.
Immaculata is appropriate for students interested in growth of mind, body, and spirit. Attending Immaculata is a privilege. Not every child is ready for the challenge.
Immaculata also seeks families committed to our community and their child’s education. Every family signs a commitment agreement indicating their interest in their child’s success and the success of the entire Immaculata community.
