Chick-fil-A Leader Academy
Chick-fil-A Leader Academy is a national High School Leadership program focused on impact through action.
Reverse Inclusion Club
We partner with the School for the Blind and Deaf. The students come to ICA once a week. Whether we are learning a new dance, learning a new skill, or playing a game, our students are included in their club. This is why it is called the Reverse Inclusion Club because they are normally excluded, now they have included us in their club.
Chapel
Each grade level attends chapel weekly. Students in the Early Learning Center have devotion daily. Our Middle School Academy and High School Academy attend chapel weekly, and are ministered to by a music minister or ordained minister. Staff and students receive the message together to further enhance unity.
