FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you have to be Catholic or Ukrainian to attend IC?

No.  Immaculate Conception welcomes students from all backgrounds.  All students receive instruction in the Catholic faith, attend Divine Liturgy (mass), and study the Ukrainian language and culture (as part of our dual-foreign language program).  As an international school, our families hail from throughout the Metro Detroit area and around the world.  We are blessed to have parishioners from a variety of parishes from as close as across the street to as far as Rochester and Dearborn.

Is there a dress code?

What is your homework policy?
