I am pleased to announce that Mr. Joseph Bakker has been appointed Dean of Education at Ignite Christian Academy, effective immediately.

We believe Mr. Bakker's teaching and leadership experience in the world of virtual education make him an excellent fit for this new position at ICA. Mr. Bakker has been with us for five years, and in that time, he has filled the positions of academy math teacher, lead math teacher, and academy project manager.

See You at the Pole is a prayer rally where students meet at a school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. This September‘s event marks the third year that Ignite Christian Academy has created a venue for our students to participate in this global day of student prayer.

ICA is uniquely positioned to respond to this call to prayer. With students in all 50 states and 42 countries other than the United States, we cannot all gather around a flagpole at a single address in a single community. However, we can offer prayers for the students of these countries and the communities in which we live right from our homes and also participate communally with fellow ICA students via the Internet and ICA's See You at the Pole WebEx link.

To get to know them a little better, here's a brief summary and fun facts about each member of the English department. (Click on teacher name to see photo.)
