What Do People Say About Immaculate Conception Catholic Schools?

The school speaks out for the Christian faith to the students and to the community very effectively.” …“The pastor is very supportive of the school and his daily presence is a great blessing.”

– Elementary School and Academy Accreditation Team

"When searching for the right Catholic school, our family took the time to investigate our options and asked our priest which school he would recommend. He suggested Immaculate Conception. IC has all the elements we had been seeking including a small-school learning environment, traditional Catholic values, excellent Iowa Basic test scores and affordable tuition. Though some Ukrainian or Byzantine religious traditions are slighly different than the Roman or Latin rite, my children have learned the fullness of their faith and understood that we are all united under the umbrella of the Catholic Church in Rome, sheperded by Pope Benedict XVI. At IC my children also take part and enjoy several of the extra curricular activities including chess club, soccer and basketball. We are pleased with the education, the teaching staff and have felt welcomed since we arrived nearly six years ago."

-- Andrew and Janet Biondo

“Attending IC led me on an academic and spiritual journey toward success. At the end of my journey, I earned a full scholarship to Wayne State University. I gladly returned to teach at IC with hopes of offering other students the same positive and enriching opportunities that Immaculate Conception provided me.”

-- MaryAnn Gruda, Kindergarten Teacher

"Immaculate Conception has welcomed us with open arms. On the first day of school, we met parent after parent. They offered information, answered questions, and invited us to join the many activities in and out of school. By the second day of school, not only our son, but we as a family had made many new friends and felt completely at home. IC offers a first-rate education, but they also offer what many schools lack -- a sense of family and community."

-- Carly Paul, Parent

"When we came to the United States, it was our dream to preserve our Ukrainian heritage while providing our children with the best education available. Without Immaculate Conceptions Schools, we would never have achieved our dream. Thank you."

-- Lesya Cherstylo, Parent

“Immaculate Conception is not a place where you simply go to learn; it’s also a place where you can grow as a person and develop skills that you will use not only throughout your academic career – but also throughout life.  When I went to IC, I felt like I was a part of a close-knit community because it is easy to be involved. I will never forget the values I learned or the memories and friends I made there.”

-- Parent and Volunteer

“IC provides the exact environment we wanted for our son – nurturing  and caring. Its commitment to academic excellence and creating a strong foundation in its students is outstanding. The IC School community has welcomed us with open arms, becoming an integral part of our lives.”
