Core Virtues and Habits of Mind
As Saints we RISE and as a school we emphasize these core virtues in conjunction with our habits of mind, Gifts of CHRIST. Respect - At ICS, staff and students honor the worth and dignity of themselves and others. It allows us to live in harmony with each other. Integrity - At ICS, staff and students do what is moral and display empathy for others by showing compassion, understanding, kindness and honesty. Service - At ICS, staff and students give to others with commitment, love and excellence. Excellence - At ICS, staff and students try their best to be successful by giving careful attention to all relationships and tasks. |

The Gifts of C.H.R.I.S.T. are dispositions made up of four (4) Catholic virtues (humility, prudence, fortitude, and affability) and the three (3) transcendentals (truth, beauty, and goodness). Through STREAM and learning experiences at a Diocese of Venice Catholic school, students will learn about the gifts of CHRIST and how to consciously think about the different gifts through different experiences in their daily lives. When a person subconsciously embodies specific habits, behaviors, and responses in his or her daily life, they become dispositions related to the individual.
It is our goal for students to respond to challenging situations by using the Gifts of CHRIST both inside and outside the classroom.
