Immanuel Christian School students are responsible to actively pursue their
education. ICS teachers and staff are willing to work with students who have
academic problems, but will not be able to work with students who are unwilling
to heartily concentrate their efforts on the academic tasks before them.
Our goal at ICS is that students accept an increasing
responsibility for their work. Errors reflect either a lack of understanding or
careless work. Therefore, elementary students will correct their daily
assignments until the teacher is satisfied that the work is done accurately and
carefully. All students will be encouraged to work carefully and to learn from
their mistakes. Homework assignments are a necessary part of the academic
process. The amount of homework will be reasonable if a student is diligent in
school. As the student proceeds through the grades, homework time will
increase.
D, F, and Incomplete notices from regular tests, quizzes,
and course work are mailed to parents. Interim reports are mailed at each
mid-quarter fro grade averages below C. Report cards are sent by mail at the
end of each quarter.

Elementary Classes:
Starting in kindergarten, children learn that school is fun and learning is an adventure.
They learn decoding skills, numeration and are set for first and second
grade. During the next two years, students study phonics and are drilled
in basic math skills. By the end of second grade, all children should be
able to have the word skills necessary to read a dictionary.

| In the
remainder of the elementary grades, children memorize large amounts of
information that become the building blocks for future education. Lists
of verbs of being, states and capitals, historic documents and multiplication
facts are examples of this. In fifth grade, students begin the process of
writing term papers and understand the procedure necessary to producing quality
writing. Seventh and eighth graders begin studying the fundamentals of
foreign languages, mathematical understanding, and basic interpretation of
literature.

High School:
In high school, students build on all the information they have gathered through the
years, and are encouraged to make connections and practical application of
their studies.
NILD:
ICS also provides educational therapy through the NILD (National Institute of Learning Development) Program.
