MarionNote From the Corporation
Irvington Community School, Inc. (ICS) is one of the largest and oldest public charter schools in the state, serving more than 1,000 K-12 children annually. The three schools include Irvington Community Elementary School (K-5), Irvington Community Middle School (6-8), and Irvington Preparatory Academy (9-12). ICS is a stand-alone tuition-free nonprofit public charter school founded by community members seeking a viable educational option for children living in traditional public school districts. As an independent “homegrown” charter school, ICS represents the original intent of the national charter school movement. ICS is authorized by the Indianapolis Mayor’s Office of Education Innovation. The schools have consistently performed well academically in comparison to local public school districts and in its annual rankings in OEI’s portfolio of public charter schools. All students receive instruction in Art, Music, and Physical Education. STEM coursework is experienced by all ICS students at every grade level, including instruction in coding and computer science, with robotics clubs. ICS’s learning approach is standards-based and student-centered. Restorative Practices and Social and Emotional Learning programs, with an underlying Positive Behavior Supports approach, complement behavior management efforts that focus on coaching and building strong relationships with students. And Service Learning programming is a staple of student character development at ICS.
