Funding is not guaranteed year to year, so it is important for families to apply early or stay in touch with the school about availability of funds. 

FAMILY EDUCATION

If your child is in PK – 5th grade, you will need to take either Parenting From the Tree of Life or Shepherding A Child’s Heart. These are 12-15 week parenting courses and you need to have completed or at least be enrolled in one of them within the first semester at ICS. If your child is in 6th – 12th grade, you are required to read and answer 8-10 questions per chapter from one of two parenting books. The choices are Reaching the Heart of Your Teen or Age of Opportunity. This needs to be completed within the first semester at ICS. After completing these requirements, please let the Registrar know so that we can record it in our files.

You are required to earn 5 FEUs per school year. Each hour of instruction equals one FEU. You may take FEUs outside of the school, but they will need to be approved for credit by the Registrar. FEUs can also be earned during Parent Orientation week in August.
