Background

 

Since 1854, ICS has educated the youth of the south Bronx, fostering a strong community both in and outside of the school. Located just ten blocks from Yankee stadium, our student body hails from all over the extended neighborhood. ICS prides itself on its inclusive environment in which diversity is respected and celebrated. We offer excellent academics in a safe environment and a values-based education that encourages our children to use their talents in service of others.

After a ground-breaking agreement with the Archdiocese of New York, in September 2013, Immaculate Conception School joined the Partnership for Inner-City Education (“the Partnership”), a newly formed network of six Catholic elementary schools in Harlem and the South Bronx. The Partnership manages and supports the schools’ academics, operations, finances, and development, and leverages the power of the network by bringing all six schools together for professional development and best practice sharing.
