Immaculate Conception Catholic School

What Immaculate Conception Catholic School does

Immaculate Conception Catholic School (ICS) is a private, nonprofit Roman Catholic PK-1 through 8th grade institution founded in 1954 in Hialeah, Florida, and affiliated with the Archdiocese of Miami. The school operates a single 11-acre campus at 125 W 45th Street and serves families seeking a Christ-centered education, with a stated mission to develop students spiritually, academically, culturally, physically, and socially. Its core academic products are organized into three tiers — Early Childhood (Pre-K1 through Pre-K4 using the Creative Curriculum), Elementary (K-5), and Middle School (6-8) — supplemented by the Celtic Academy Math/ELA enrichment program, the St. Joseph Calasanz Resource Program for individualized support, a 1:1 iPad device program, seven sports teams, and external after-school enrichment (Robotics, Art, Theater, Martial Arts, Dance).

The school's revenue model is a hybrid of recurring tuition, fee-based enrichment, and donation-driven fundraising. Tuition is $9,000 per student for PK1-PK4 and $10,050 for K-8 in academic year 2026-2027, with a $395 new-family registration fee and a $50 application fee. Enrichment programs are priced separately (Celtic Academy at $2,000 per subject, Calasanz Resource at $4,000). A $275/week summer camp runs June 15 to July 10. Non-tuition revenue is generated through the Celtic Fund annual giving program, legacy giving, matching gifts, commemorative brick sales ($100-$225), and signature annual events including the Pig Roast, Golf Classic, Carnival, Harvest Festival, and Celebration Gala. The school accepts Step Up For Students, AAA Scholarships, and McKay Scholarship funds to broaden access.

ICS markets through a mix of direct admissions (tours, applications, parent interviews), an event-driven community engagement calendar, organic social (Instagram under #icscelticpride), email newsletters, a parish-affiliated business directory, and the Celtic Business Partnerships program with local small businesses. With 9 listed core staff and a multi-department faculty, ICS positions itself on a 20:1 student-teacher ratio, the 1:1 iPad program, and a marketing claim of 100% of students gaining admission to their high school of choice. The school is currently expanding Pre-K4 and Kindergarten capacity via a new facility build-out and has added a new Assistant Principal to its leadership team.
