Icon of Christ Academy (ICON) aims to transform education by emphasizing both the spiritual and intellectual growth of our scholars, guided by our faith and academic philosophy. In the current educational landscape, we face significant challenges that threaten our youth’s spiritual and intellectual development. Our mission is to reclaim education, guided by the awareness of the spiritual dimensions at play.
“In Your Light We See Light.” Christ is the Light who reveals the Father. Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We use His Light to illuminate our path in life. We are sojourners and travelers in this world. We are torchbearers of the Light for others, and at the same time, we are wayfinders. We ought to be discovering and following the Way in our studies and in our communities.
Christ embodies the ultimate spiritual illumination, revealing God the Father to humanity as the definitive Way, Truth, and Life. His light serves as our guiding principle, assisting us in navigating life's complexities. As engaged participants in a significant spiritual journey, we are more than passive observers, we are spiritual travelers seeking direction on our individual and collective paths. We bear a shared responsibility as "torchbearers", reflecting Christ's light to others while actively pursuing and adhering to His divine guidance. Our spiritual journey involves intentional learning through study, active engagement in our communities, and a continual effort to comprehend God's direction. By embracing Christ as our light and way, we transform from mere wanderers into purposeful, enlightened travelers on a meaningful journey.
Our educational institution fosters a robust sense of community, provides chances for serving peers, dedicates time to prayer and worship, and encourages cultivating a mindset aligned with Christ. Our school exists to integrate faith with learning, to educate for and teach Gospel values, to build community, to provide opportunities for prayer and worship, to educate and provide opportunities for service to others, and above all, to embody the love of Christ. Students learn to recognize truth, goodness, and beauty in all facets of life, understanding that these transcendentals point to objective realities. Our students are able to apply their education to be exemplary contributors to their communities, churches, families, and relationships.

Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
