At CICS Irving Park, we believe that learning extends far beyond textbooks and classroom walls. From before the first bell to long after the last bell rings, a whole new world of discovery, creativity, and connection come to life! Our vast array of extracurricular activities, sports, and after school programs are designed to help every student find their passion, build new skills, and discover their unique spark, while our soft start program offers students three levels of activities based on what they need to start their day: quieter individual activities like reading, activities with a little interaction like puzzles and board games, or a more active option like playground time on our rainbow top or in the gym!
Whether your student dreams of making the winning basket, singing on stage, or leading a school initiative, there's a place for them to shine. Enrichment opportunities provide invaluable chances to collaborate with peers, develop leadership skills, and explore interests in a supportive and engaging environment. From sports like boys and girls basketball, boys, girls, and co-ed flag football, co-ed track and field, coe-ed cross country, boys soccer, and cheerleading to dynamic clubs and other extracurriculars like cooking club, arts and crafts, choir, Puma Zumba, Comix Club, dance, drama, Intro to Spanish, and tutoring, our students are constantly learning, growing, and having fun, ensuring there's something for everyone to dive into.
Getting involved in activities beyond the classroom not only enriches the school experience but also helps students build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging. We invite all our students to explore these exciting avenues and discover where their talents and interests can truly flourish.
