Invest Collegiate Transform

"Love the school, my kids attend there and dont have an issue with the school. The teachers keep the parents involved. My kids are champions always."

"My daughter has been at Invest Collegiate Transform since the 2nd grade and she is now in 5th grade. My experience with all of her collegiate leaders and administration has been nothing but amazing. With the focus being on the Arts, it has truly brought out talents I didn't realize my daughter had. For example, she won the art contest last year for her picture to be on the program cover of The Wiz theater performance. This year she was selected to be on the all girls show choir. My daughter has truly excelled at Invest Collegiate Transform. It shows in her grades and End of Grade test scores. I know every school isn't perfect, but I can say ICT has met the needs for my daughter. I would definitely recommend this school if anyone is seeking an alternate school outside of CMS."

"I love this school and contrary to the comment about the "bad kids". The children there are very well behaved. I love the culture and environment. I especially love the open concept. Teachers holding other teachers accountable. Also the verbiage used. They call the students "champions". Verbiage is extremely important."

"I was told to be mindful of how some Charter Schools operate. So I proceeded with caution. From the director/principal down to the teachers this school staff is so unprofessional. I will recommend professional development training to each and everyone of them. The teachers Ms. Korff for one sits back while children are being bullied and beat. To be able to recite a whole altercation back leads me to believe she let my child get beat up. Why not stop the bashing of another child before anyone gets hurt? Why not intervene? Or call in reinforcement before things got/get physical? A boy with perfect attendance and never missed a day until he was forced to protect himself. How scary is that to be attacked in what is supposed to be a safe place? Not to mention the other child pushed and slapped him the day before which left my child in tears and the administrator Ms. Mikkeny to tell me that the child loss fifteen minutes of outside time. I don't understand their logic in which the staff here has adopted. I have emails and texts when I communicated with his homeroom teacher (Ms. Gurano)about the bullying but that means nothing to Ms Mikkenny. Her main goal was to tell me what happen with that particular incident and not address what has been happening. I do not know if the teachers have gotten to a point where they feel tired, underpaid, unappreciated but now it's time for them to reevaluate their life and change some of their goals before they destroy these kids. You never know now and days whether or not they are getting enjoyment out of seeing children fight. I don't appreciate my child getting bullied, I don't appreciate my child getting beat, I feel sorry if they are exhausted and I hope they take this summer break to rest and get their mind back to doing what they chose to do and that's MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THESE CHILDREN LIVES."

"I am happy I made the switch to Invest Collegiate. My 3 children are learning so much more here than they were at their previous CMS Placement. They come home talking about all the fun they had learning, and they talk about school the minute they get in the car. They downside to all Charter schools is the drop off and pick up line, harder push for fundraising, and packing lunch everyday. Invest Collegiate is by no means perfect, but if you are searching for perfection you need to homeschool because that does not exist. All schools have things the could improve on. For me and my family Invest Collegiate Transform is a great school where my children are being throughly prepared for the future. The teachers work hard to ensure success. The atmosphere is warm and happy. The champions have a safe environment to enjoy learning. I sing Invest Collegiate's praises on a daily basis. My children have tried many public schools and I have even tried private school. Invest Collegiate Transform outshines them all!"
