Welcome to ICAP
Goal: ICAP development supports academic achievement by providing long term goals for career and college admissions
ICAP development increases graduation rate by providing motivation to help students stay on track, graduate on time, and maintain strong academic standing for postsecondary readiness
A strong school ICAP culture creates a culture of long term planning and forward thinking.
Students who invest in individual, career and academic planning create a vision of success for their future.
ICAP development prepares students for the world of work, career and advanced academics.
When students match their interests, skills and abilities with careers and post-graduate academic programs, they become postsecondary and workforce ready.
