Requested Amount: 10,000

Project Title: An equal opportunity for exceptional science
Project Description:

One of ICA’s most pressing needs is to complete a dedicated science classroom. Presently, our faculty teaches courses such as biology and chemistry in a general-use space that is not equipped for hands-on laboratory instruction. While our teachers are creative and resourceful, the lack of appropriate facilities limits our ability to provide students with the full scope of experiential learning that is essential to the science education they deserve.
A well-designed science classroom would enable students to safely conduct laboratory experiments, observations, and demonstrations that deepen their understanding and reinforce classroom instruction. These experiences are critical not only for academic comprehension but also for cultivating curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. As a Christian school committed to excellence, we believe students should have opportunities to explore scientific concepts in ways that are both intellectually robust and aligned with a biblical worldview that values discovery.
This need is further underscored by our anticipated growth in the coming school year. We project that ICA’s enrollment will double by the fall of 2026. As our student body expands, it is essential that our facilities grow accordingly. A fully operational biology and chemistry lab will ensure that current and future students have access to high-quality science instruction and are well prepared for college-level coursework and careers in science-related fields.
The construction of our science classroom is an investment in ICA’s long-term academic strength and in the future of the children and families we serve. It will directly enhance instructional quality, support enrollment growth, and affirm our commitment to providing a well-rounded, excellence-driven education for every student entrusted to our care.
