How ICS Compares to State-Wide Reading Trends
For families looking for a private Christian school near Salt Lake City, Intermountain Christian School is known for an intentional culture of literacy across grade levels. From early phonics and fluency to upper-elementary comprehension, writing, and speaking, we help students become confident readers within a Christ-centered environment. At ICS, students are taught to meet—and often exceed—the Utah Core Standards.
The Lasting Value of Youth Group Involvement
For many middle- and high school-aged Christians, a key part of their early faith development happens at Church, but not only on Sundays … at Youth Group.
What happens every day in the halls of ICS is wonderful, and we don’t need to understate the opportunities for discipleship at ICS to also highlight the unique role a Youth Group can play in a young Christian’s spiritual and social growth.

Chick-fil-A for Lunch and Making Learning Fun: ICS Student Writing Samples
Students take two weekly reading tests, and if they earn two 100% scores, they get to go off campus to Chick-fil-A for lunch. While we celebrate everyone’s wins in a variety of ways, this tradition has become a special motivator that helps keep students engaged. Under the new ownership, this Chick-fil-A location has partnered with us in a different and fun way this year.
