IACS is a fantastic school offering arts of all kinds to students in the valley. From an all girls…read moremariachi, folkloric dance, traditional dance teams, to ceramics, drama, choir, and instruments of all kinds. There is something for everyone. The school has taken swift initiative to reduce bullying and discourage disruptive behavior. In 2023 they secured a grant to offer clubs to students in a variety of specialties (yoga, chess, robotics, photography, cheer, hydroponics etc) these clubs allow students to attend after school programs keeping them engaged and busy! If you are looking to join a school that is growing, and will collaborate with you to develop your child. I highly recommend IACS, they match your effort and are a school to watch over the next serval years (as big developments come to fruition). If you are looking for an "alternate" school due to behavioral issues, suspension, etc. this is not the place for that, UNLESS you are ready to put in the work of getting your student back on track. The best alternative school in Canyon County is Elevate if that is a good fit for your students at this time.

I am genuinely heartbroken that I have to write a review like this, but families deserve to know…read moreour experience. We were excited about The Ambrose School. During our tour, they expressed how much they loved our child, how well she would fit, and even told us there was an open spot. All we needed to do was complete the application. We did exactly that. The application asked detailed questions about our specific Christian faith and the church we attend. Within a week of submitting it, we received a cold, impersonal email informing us that our application was being terminated and our fee refunded. No explanation. No conversation. No willingness to clarify anything. Just a closed door. When I reached out and respectfully asked for the reason behind their sudden reversal, we received complete silence. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Based on the timing and the nature of the questions they focused on, it is hard to see this as anything other than religious discrimination. What makes this even more painful is that our child previously attended a nearly identical "Classical Christian" school in another state--with the same curriculum, same values, same books, same structure--and thrived as a straight-A student. She was everything they say they want in a student. Explaining to her why Ambrose had suddenly changed their mind was absolutely heartbreaking. Their academics appear strong, and I am sure many students receive an excellent education. But our experience revealed something far more concerning: a lack of transparency, compassion, and Christlike behavior. The way we were treated was dismissive, exclusionary, and completely out of line with the values they claim to uphold. Families deserve honesty and respect. Sadly, we experienced neither.
