East Division,
Dear Parent(s):
We are delighted to learn of
your interest in Immaculate Conception Regional School. A Catholic education is a priceless gift that
you can give your child. Our mission guides us in providing an education rooted
in Catholic beliefs and values for students in Skagit and surrounding counties.
Your child will enjoy a challenging academic program in an environment that
provides a level of personal attention that cultivates his/her special gifts. Following are highlights of our school and our
programs. We look forward to meeting you
soon.
Benefits
·
Our
students score significantly higher on all standardized tests and each year our
graduates excel in the various high schools they attend.
·
Our
academic program is complemented by our commitment to moral and faith
development. The impressive results of this combination can be seen from our
youngest pre-school student to our 8th graders.
·
Our small
size guarantees that no one “slips through the cracks”. A recent survey of students at ICRS indicated
they value knowing all students and staff by name.
