The elementary student of the month for Ignite Christian Academy is third grade student, Salma D. While Salma has only been a student here at ICA for 8 months, she is an active participant in our school, recently participating in our school wide science fair.
Salma previously used LIFEPAC books for homeschooling, but after hearing so much about ICA from her mom, Salma and her parents decided that it will be a great option to switch online. She looked forward to having teachers like Mrs. Johnson. Salma’s teacher, Mrs. Johnson, said “Salma is a great student! She is very happy and smiley. She participates in classes and clubs. Salma loves Jesus! She works hard and when she does not understand or has questions, she reaches out for help.”
