Immaculate Conception School

"Our children have attended ICCS since 2002. We feel strongly that this school provided our children with a solid Catholic identity as well as preparing them for High School and beyond. ICCS truly is a community and I cannot recommend it highly enough."

"As a former educator, I am extremely picky about where my daughter goes to school and thought the only way to meet my exacting standards would have been through homeschooling. I was pleasantly surprised to to find that Immaculate Conception met and exceeded almost everything I was looking for. Maybe the most rare find about this gem is that it strikes the perfect balance between an administration that supports their standards of education, faith, and community in the students, and teachers who are given enough autonomy to adapt to each student's personal needs. After working with almost a dozen private schools across DFW (including Hockaday), I can honestly say, I've never seen them matched on this. In fact, ICCS impressively balances preparing their students for the future in their education, their faith, and their friendships in their even before getting into extracurricular programs. They also find the right balance for us between structure and flexibility with the students, having traditional uniforms and security protocols second-to-none, while still offering outlets for self-expression and individuality. I highly recommend a visit, but what really sold me was talking to the parents and seeing how many of them travel past much closer (and still very good) school options year after year because ICCS has made that much of a difference in their children's lives. That said, this balance is not for everyone. Those who would have a problem with the school's Catholic foundation or conversely feel that weekly mass is unacceptably infrequent wouldn't be happy here. Likewise, the kids test well above their grade level on average, which may offend some families that feel teaching how to pass tests is a waste of time while others might be disappointed that it doesn't directly funnel into a prep-school. No school can be everything or fit everyone, but you owe it to yourself to find out if Immaculate Conception is the place that meets all your needs without compromising any of them. It was for my family."

"ICCS is a wonderful school! My husband and I highly recommend it. Both of our children have attended and loved it. The faculty and staff are very engaged and commitment to making sure your child recieves the best education possible. The teachers truly have a vocation for teaching and give their time generously to each student . The principle and dean are also wonderful and go above and beyond to ensure a safe environment for all the students. Love the connection and support between the school and church. We are so thankful our children can still learn about our faith in a school setting!"

"Our daughter has been in ICCS since she was 3 years old. Now she is in fifth and she loves it. The teachers and administrators are very friendly and always ready to help your child if they need it. My sister in law was a third grade teacher when our daughter was in third at ICCS she would look at the work our daughter brought home and was amazed that she was doing what would have been 6th grade work where she taught. If you are considering a private Catholic School I cannot recommend ICCS highly enough"

"Recently I had the opportunity to do some substitute teaching for the ICCS and I found the school community to be the warm, loving and overall an excellent educational environment. The teachers are full of passion, professionalism, affection, and have a nurturing spirit towards their students and colleagues. The commitment, hard work of the Faculty and Staff and the proactive leadership and dedication of the principal, Mrs. Elaine Schad, is what makes the Our Lady's school into a successful Community of Faith and Education. I was once a member of Texas Catholic Conference Education Department (TCCED) Accreditation Visiting Team and I wouldn't have hesitated to rate the ICCS Excellent. It is a great school to be at and completely worth the investment for a child's education. I would highly recommend parents consider this school if they want to provide their children with a holistic excellent private school education along with the freedom to pray and learn substantial solid Christian values."
