Dear ICA Families,

It is both a blessing and a privilege that you trust us with your child’s education. Parent feedback helps us reflect on our programs and ensure we provide a high-quality, Christ-centered education. This survey will take less than 5 minutes to complete, and an independent Diocesan committee will review the results. Your responses will remain strictly confidential, and results will only be reported back to the school administration in aggregate with no reference to any personal information.
