At SICCS, community is our middle name.

We’re community based, founded by parents, grandparents and educators from nearby neighborhoods.

We’re community focused, drawing on local talent, skill and experience. We collaborate broadly, working with individuals, corporations, foundations, small business supporters, and local cultural and environmental organizations.  [For more information, see the 'Community Partners' page in this ('About Us') drop-down menu.]

We’re community run, operated by a board of trustees, not a charter school management corporation (many of our trustees, in fact, live in the same neighborhoods our students do).
