| IRS990/Desc | 0 | INDEPENDENCE CLASSICAL ACADEMY EXISTS TO FILL A ROLE IN PUBLIC EDUCATION THAT IS CURRENTLY MISSING IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY. A VIRTUOUS ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO PROVIDE AN ACADEMICALLY RIGOROUS CURRICULUM WHERE GOOD MORAL VIRTUE IS NOT ONLY ENCOURAGED, BUT EXPECTED. A PLACE WHERE TEACHERS CAN TEACH, AND STUDENTS WILL LEARN. OFFERING A SETTING FREE FROM DIGITAL LEARNING AND THE DISTRACTIONS OF SCREENS AND PRESSURES OF SOCIAL MEDIA THAT MANY KIDS ARE FIXATED ON IN TODAY'S WORLD, WE ARE ABLE TO HONE IN ON CREATING CRITICAL THINKERS THAT ARE FLUENT READERS, WRITERS, AND SPEAKERS. STUDENTS IN OUR ACADEMY ARE BEING TAUGHT THAT CHARACTER COUNTS, AND THAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF HARD THINGS. KIDS ARE GETTING OUTDOORS, EXPERIENCING LEARNING FOR ALL LEARNING STYLES, AND BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR OWN LEARNING GAINS, AS OPPOSED TO SPENDING TEN MONTHS LEARNING HOW TO PASS A STANDARDIZED TEST. THE CULTURE AT ICA IS THAT OF A FAMILY, AND THE GAINS OUR STUDENTS MAKE ACADEMICALLY ARE LARGELY TIED TO THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEY ARE TAUGHT, A SMALL, HIGHLY STRUCTURED SCHOOL THAT FOCUSES ON KNOWING ALL OF OUR KIDS, AND GETTING THEM TO REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. |
