Our school philosophy at ICA is that “we encourage a desire to grow in faith and in a personal relationship with Christ”. Faculty, staff, students and parents are all challenged to model Christian living, which is essential to the kind of community that ICA seeks to form. ICA Graduates are: Women of Faith! Students have a special way to grow in faith through Campus Ministry programs. The student Campus Ministry team works together with the school Campus Minister to provide opportunities for retreats, prayer, fun, and service.

The Campus Ministry team is comprised of LIFErs and Preachers.

• L.I.F.E.rs
  The Living in Faith Experience program trains students to be faith leaders in the school community. Their training, at the MSJ Living in Faith Experience Retreat held each summer at the MSJ motherhouse in Fremont with the other MSJ Dominican High Schools in California, focuses on spiritual development and leadership.
• PREACHERS
  Preachers are students who attend the Dominican Preaching Conference held each summer at Sienna Heights University in Adrian, Michigan with other Dominican high school students from around the country. The conference focuses on sharing one’s spiritual journey, as a key component of Dominican identity.

These two groups of students meet together weekly with the Campus Minister to plan events and become spiritual leaders, the “heart” of ICA.
