Isaac Newton Christian Academy

We love the safe Christian environment as well as caring teachers and administrators at INCA. The atmosphere and Christian culture makes it an outstanding school for our community. We are thankful for the head of school as he loves and cares for each student personally. This is one of the best decisions we have made for our children. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting their kids to have Christlike character and academic excellence.

We have had our daughter enrolled at Isaac Newton Christian Academy since kindergarten and she has just completed 3rd grade. Every year we have been very pleased with the superior academics and the family feel of the INCA professionals and parents of the students. We especially value the focus on character building and how we all contribute to our community. Our experiences with each teacher has been fantastic - open and honest dialogue with the foundation of caring and concern! We highly recommend INCA and encourage parents to visit. We are so pleased we did and each year we see our daughter gaining the tools for a lifetime of success - professionally, personally, and spiritually.

We love Isaac Newton Christian Academy. The staff are amazing and care so much about the students. The academics are strong while also focusing on growing the students spiritually. They teach them to have a biblical world view across all of the subjects.
The addition of wrap around care for the pre-k program is a true blessing for our family. Wrap around care is the only way that we could send our youngest daughter to INCA this year.
INCA is fabulous school and we are so grateful to be apart of it.

Our twins were old enough for kindergarten but were very shy. We made the decision to send them to Pre K at Isaac Newton Christian Academy (INCA) and were so thankful we did. Mrs Wolf did an amazing job bringing out the uniqueness of our kids and they have completed this school year with amazing social & leadership skills. We felt that INCA was the best fit for our family as it was important to us for their education to be surrounded by biblical truth. It's valuable to us that our kids continue to be "growing" Christians while thriving in academics and feel that INCA has been the perfect place for not only them, but for us as well.

Our two children are in their fourth year of attending Isaac Newton Christian Academy. Transferring to this school was the best decision we made for investing in our children’s future - academically and spiritually. I’m continually impressed with the level of Biblical worldview integration throughout all the subjects taught, and the staff and teachers’ desire to instill positive values and character traits in our children. I’m thankful for an excellent academic program that strengthens and builds upon the faith foundation that our children are learning at church and home. Our oldest child has enjoyed playing in the praise band for chapel services, as well as participating in the track and soccer programs.

When we moved to the area a few years ago, we were looking for a Christian school that would hold to the same Biblical standards we had in our home. From our very first meeting with the Head of School, we knew that Isaac Newton was the right choice for our family. In fact, Isaac Newton has exceeded our expectations, and every year we are continually impressed with level of excellence. We are very thankful for the the school's commitment to Biblical integration in all areas, as well as the high academic standards and the fully committed teachers and staff.

As we were getting closer to sending our child to school, a private Christian education was never really on the radar. However, after learning from some friends and the Head of School about the top-notch academics fully integrated with Christian worldview, we decided to give Isaac Newton Christian Academy a try . . . and we have found that the school lives up to this reputation. In addition to providing practical learning experiences within a biblical worldview framework, Isaac Newton thrives on student and family involvement through various sports, activities, and campaigns, such as the yearly pie drive. All of these have helped to generate a sense of community at the school, which in turn has led to an environment where close friendships are formed and strong resource stewardship and personal accountability are the norm.

We homeschooled our children from 1st grade until we enrolled them at INCA (5th and 6th grade at the time). We are continually impressed by the Christlike character of the faculty and staff who strive each day to direct our children and their friends to Christ and His love and truth for their lives. The academic load is rigorous, but the teachers will bend over backward to help the children achieve their goals. Although I miss having my kids at home some days, I wouldn't change a thing about deciding to send them to Isaac Newton.

Our children have attended Isaac Newton for 4 years and we look forward to many more years at this school. The teachers are dedicated, patient, and they model Christian values to our students daily. The high-level academics keep our children engaged and we all enjoy the close-knit school community and lifelong friendships that they are forming here.

INCA has been a tremendous blessing to our family this year. The teachers love our sons (2nd and 4th grades), supporting our role as parents, and coming alongside us to help them grow. Every teacher is approachable and responds quickly to emails and calls.

Cons? There are very few in this wonderful school! We were definitely challenged by the quantity of homework. Our fourth grader's teacher helped me figure out ways to streamline work, which helped. But, we did feel like it was still too much at times. We appreciate the curriculum and biblical integration.

We loved the Thanksgiving program put on by the second graders, with all the beautiful hymns sung in praise of our great God! Our boys didn't always like some of the more contemporary music in chapel.

Most of the students have been friendly and respectful. When one difficult situation came up, the teacher and principal were on it immediately. We felt our boys were very safe.

The staff welcomes parents to eat lunch with their children. INCA has many fun things planned through the year, and their desire to shine Christ in our community is clearly evident.

We greatly appreciate Mr. Ridder's heart for children, his godly example, and kindness. The ladies in the office are wonderful. It is clear that they are not legalistic - seeking to reach the hearts of our children. We thank God for INCA and highly recommend it to others!

From the moment I visited INCA, I immediately noticed a difference in the student behavior as compared to public schools. They are respectful, kind. Academic results have consistantly delivered above my expectations.
I would recommend this school to anyone who wants a school to reinforce christian values, respect, and the value of hard work, critical thinking.This is truly the best investment to give your kids a great education from the beginning when it is most important.

Our child has grown and thrived this past year. We are so appreciative of all the hardwork and dedication of the teachers and staff to pour into our child's life socially, academically and spiritually. We love the school and are so satisfied, that next year we plan on sending our next school-age child to INCA as well.

Teachers and faculty go above and beyond to support my children spiritually, emotionally, physically and academically.
I continue to be impressed with their attention to detail, fairness and ability to provide a biblical perspective to each and every subject.
I look forward to volunteering at school because the joy and love of Christ is so very apparent.
Knowing you have a fully integrated team of highly academic, compassionate people who are there praying for your entire family -- is a tremendous blessing and a natural extension of our family in Christ.

This school has been a blessing to our family! We have two students there and have been at the school for 5 years. The teachers and administrators are top notch and God is clearly felt throughout the school. The comfort and reassurance of knowing our children are receiving an outstanding education and being taught to walk with Christ is priceless!!

Isaac Newton was a great place for our daughters after our move to Cedar Rapids. The teachers are gifted and passionate about Christian education. We couldn't have found a better fit for our family.

The school is well worth the investment if you are concerned with the worldview your children will acquire. Every school and curriculum has a worldview, and if you would like to have a school with a Christian friendly worldview, then this is a fantastic school for you to pick.
In addition, the school has a great teaching staff, administration, and parent community.

My kids started here in pre-k and graduated when the school ended in 8th grade. The education they received here was second to none. More importantly, they were loved and learned to love. I learned so much from this community of believers. This school is a blessing to our community.

Outstanding leadership. Biblical integration in all areas. High academic standards. Teachers who care about every aspect of their students, not just the academics they are teaching. Great community.

Isaac Newton has exceeded every expectation from academics to worldview and Biblical integration. The teachers and staff are amazing and the kind of role models I want for my children.

The best school around! Our kids are are both challenged and encouraged to grow academically and in their relationship to God through Jesus Christ. This school is a precious gift from God to our community!
