COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS

Immaculate Conception School embraces the shift to the Common Core State Standards as a pathway to teaching; opening doors and empowering IC students to reach their full potential. Common core standards create continuity across the grade levels, building strength, year upon year, for the benefit of the whole child. The common core standards inform student mastery of critical thinking so IC students will be better prepared as leaders with the tools, skills, and knowledge needed to face the challenges they will encounter in high school, college, workplace, and community settings-as Catholics and citizens of the world.
