Since August 2000, Inverness Christian Academy has been educating students in Citrus County and surrounding area in a loving, Christian environment.  As a ministry of Fort Cooper Baptist Church, ICA seeks to teach its students that Jesus Christ died for them, and that they need to give their hearts fully to Him.  The goal of the administration and faculty is that students not only accept Christ, but give their llives totally and completely to Him.  The spiritual emphasis is by far the most important factor in a Christian education.

PHILOSOPHY OF OUR SCHOOL

Inverness Christian Academy believes that a school’s philosophy underlies its whole framework.  Our philosophy is our foundation; therefore, it determines what we do.  The proper philosophy of education will directly or indirectly enhance every other area of life.

Since Christian education is one that includes Christ, the result is ultimately a character and conduct like His.  Our purpose is to provide academic excellence for each student and to train them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.  Our goal is to ensure that every student knows Jesus Christ as Savior.  We endeavor to teach character, integrity, and self-discipline.  We believe it is the responsibility of the home, the church, and the school to work together to develop obedience, respect, and responsibility.  We expect cooperation of the home by encouragement as the students grow spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Our enrollment philosophy is a mixture of open and closed enrollment.  Students entering K5 – 5^th grade may enter under the normal admissions procedures.  However, enrollment in grades 6-12 is limited to students who can give a testimony of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and whose families regularly attend a church of like faith.  An interview with the high school principal must be held for all incoming students in grades 6 – 12.

Our faculty and staff are totally committed to this philosophy.  We promise to strive to provide a quality education in a loving environment.  This is accomplished by making the Word of God the most important textbook at ICA because it teaches us that there are absolutes that govern our lives, and we are each accountable to the Lord Jesus Christ.
