Dear High School Families,
It was a pleasure to meet with some parents in Central for lunch this week, related to efforts by the Parent Association to set up such events. I’m very grateful for them.
Faculty are prepared and ready to meet with many parents this weekend as we look forward to parent teacher conferences. At ICS we embrace the divine mandate from God on families as the primary domain of child education and virtue development, and we happily partner with parents in that effort under God’s care and authority.
I pray for all the families in the High School and count it as a great honor to have your trust and support. We cross our first quarter of the school year this week as well, and move to the second half of the semester with great anticipation. I wish all our athletes and coaches well as many will be traveling over the next couple of weeks to compete with our sister schools in the region. I pray God’s favor and blessing on all as we work towards a successful end to 2025 and beyond.
Blessings,
Kiel Nation, D.Min
High School Principal

Whether you plan to attend university near or far, you can stay on track with the SAT. Most colleges—including those that are test optional—still accept SAT test scores. Together with high school grades, the SAT can show your potential to succeed in college or career. And if you're thinking about studying abroad, there are more than 400 universities in 85 countries outside the United States that use the SAT in the admissions process.
Parents, be empowered and equipped with the knowledge and resources you need to support your child's growth and success. This page provides resources, and we hope to help parents navigate the challenges of parenting and support your child's overall well-being.
