Immaculate Conception is a parish-based school associated with Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Dennison. While continuing the proud tradition of the St. Mary Blue Waves, Immaculate Conception School is one of three Catholic Schools in Tuscarawas County working to build strong minds, bodies, and spirits.
Immaculate Conception offers grades Kindergarten through Sixth. The school also has pre-school and pre-kindergarten classes with flexible scheduling options.
The school is accredited by the Ohio Catholic Schools Accrediting Association.
All teachers and aides in grades Pre-K through six are licensed, properly credentialed, and have current FBI and BCI background checks. Every adult working at IC also has taken "Protecting God's Children" to help ensure a safe and protected environment.
The 7 classroom teachers average more than 15 years teaching experience.
Immaculate Conception provides specialists for tutoring and speech services.
Students have many opportunities to practice their faith through participation in weekly liturgies, daily prayer, and community service work.
Current enrollment in grades K through 6 is 90 students. We have small classes with a student/teacher ratio of 9/1. Students receive the individual assistance they need to succeed.
Tuition in the 2021-22 school year for the first child from the family of a participating parishioner is $3,325. For a “non-participating” student, tuition is $5245. Tuition assistance programs are available and no student is turned away for financial reasons.
