Profile & Accreditation
Immaculate Conception School serves children in grades preK 3 year olds through sixth grade. Immaculate Conception School, founded in 1930, is a parochial school and a ministry of Immaculate Conception Church. Our school is located in downtown Fort Smith, AR, and is the premiere educational institution in the area. We are proud of our history and tradition!
The preschool program began in 2007 and consists of two three-year old classes and two four-year old classes with 40 children and a staff of six. The building was purchased and completely renovated in the summer of 2007. One only needs to walk through to see the quality program offered to families.
The elementary school is comprised of two classes at each grade level with an enrollment of 333 students. A highly-qualified staff of accredited teachers present and facilitate an engaging curriculum for children. A second language (Spanish), fine arts and physical education are an important part of each student's education in addition to a strong core curriculum of Religion, language arts, math, science, and social studies. Our art program and technology program are top notch!
Each grade level has a paraprofessional that aids the teachers and students. A master-degreed librarian and counselor are just two support staff available to assist students and parents.
Immaculate Conception School desires to meet the academic needs of all children. Children with special needs as determined by psychological and/or medical evaluations will be accepted on a probationary basis to allow the school staff and parents sufficient time to determine whether Immaculate Conception School can make reasonable accommodations to meet the needs of the child before final acceptance.
A certified teacher with a Master’s degree in Special Education-Mildly Handicapped staffs the Learning Lab. This program serves students, K-6, who qualify as learning disabled, and whose academic needs are best met in a pullout or inclusion program. The Learning Lab teacher also assists the classroom teachers in making modifications for learning disabled students in a regular classroom setting.
The computer lab has 28 workstations for use by students and teachers. Each homeroom has lab time scheduled during the week. Students receive instruction on the use of the computer and various software programs. Technology is integrated throughout the school curriculum. Instruction and activities are under the direction of the technology coordinator and the classromm teacher. CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act) compliant web-filtering/blocking software protects Immaculate Conception students using the internet connection.
Each classroom contains 4-5 networked computers, a SMART board, and other technological tools. Computers are used by teachers and students for Accelerated Reader, research, project productions, skill reinforcement, record keeping, etc. Computers are internet accessible.
The Arkansas Nonpublic School Accrediting Association (ANSAA) accredits Immaculate Conception School. By meeting the standards of this association, Immaculate Conception School pledges itself to provide its students with the best possible learning environment. Immaculate Conception School’s accreditation is valid from August 2006 through July 2013.
Immaculate Conception School embodies the philosophy that parents are the primary educators of their children. Without the volunteerism and involvement of our parents, Immaculate Conception could not achieve the excellence experienced by all children.
