Indian Rocks Christian School

The future is bright for the Class of 2026.

From universities across the country to schools close to home, we’re so proud of all the places our seniors have been accepted. Some have already started summer classes, while others are getting ready to begin this fall. No matter where they’re headed, we’re excited to follow their journey and see how God continues to lead them.

At IRCS, we prepare students to pursue the call of God in their lives in any industry or ministry with sound minds, servants’ hearts, and skilled hands.

Inspire. Engage. Connect.
