Welcome to the Immaculate Conception-St. Joseph School Website!

We appreciate your interest in ICSJ School, and we trust that this interactive site will provide you with a wealth of information about our exemplary academics, faith-based education, admissions criteria, community outreach, and athletic program. Whether you are a prospective or current parent, we hope you will gain further insight into our school community and its mission through this site.

ICSJ is an incredibly special place because of the many dedicated individuals associated with the school. The administration, faculty, parents, students, and parishioners have all contributed a tremendous amount of time and energy to make ICSJ the Catholic school of choice for families from 28 different Chicago zip codes.

Opening our doors in 2002 to seventeen wonderful prekindergarten and kindergarten students, ICSJ School is now in our 22nd year as a school community. We look back and remain in awe of our many accomplishments over that relatively short time. We have grown to be a school serving over 270students across two state-of-the-art campuses, whose high-achieving graduates enter the most selective high schools in Chicago and then, four years later, to some of the most prestigious universities!

Our numerous accomplishments include the opening of our second campus in 2011, launching a 1:1 iPad program for students in Grades 4-8 in 2016 and expanding to allow 1:1 devices in grades Kindergarten through Grade 3 in 2020, providing wonderful enrichment classes to develop the whole child, a competitive athletic program, and standardized test scores that consistently place our students in the top 10-15% percent of the nation, and our school among the top elementary schools in Chicago. 

Although this website is a wonderful introduction to our school and serves as a hub of information for our current and prospective families, a visit to ICSJ will offer a complete picture of the vibrant and nurturing environment that is Immaculate Conception-St. Joseph School.

We invite you to arrange a school tour by contacting our Admissions Director, Jodi Thyen, at [email protected].

We look forward to meeting you soon!

Sincerely,

Katie Sullivan and Margaret Faller
