A Different Kind Of Public School

ways. At ICS, we don’t just teach curriculum; we build a safe, nurturing space around your family.

A Learning Plan Built Around
Every Student

Here’s Why Students and Families Love Us!

“I'm a public school teacher and I send my student to Lavelle Preparatory Charter School - that should tell you something. I see a difference in homework, tests, and overall support."

Lavelle Preparatory Charter School, Student

"My daughter is graduating from The Early College Charter School this year and she will already have 18 college credits. She started in the 8th grade and is graduating a year ahead of her peers."

The Early College Charter School, Parent

"I wouldn’t have been able to get here without New Ventures Charter School. Transferring was the best decision I ever made. Looking back now I’d never picture myself here, with a full-time job that I love, a certificate with my name on it, and the pride and happiness I have within myself.”

New Ventures Charter School, Alum

"When my son was at his elementary school, especially after going remote, I felt some teachers just gave up and didn't have the heart. Here at Richmond Preparatory Charter School, I am constantly involved in his education and notified of his upcoming classwork and tests on a daily basis. For us, we feel that he is getting the education he needed but wasn't completely getting through the DOE."
