Frequently Asked Questions

The application is open for two to three weeks each month from February through September. Please contact office@icahs.org for more details.

We encourage you to register for the WPCP early, so there is adequate time to complete the necessary steps to confirm income and residency. However, the timing of the application does not give the applicant an advantage. Those who register near the end of the enrollment period have the same opportunity as those who register early. 

Not necessarily. If there are more applicants for a particular grade level than seats available, ICA will conduct a random lottery to assign seats to applicants.

No, all applicant families must provide two pieces of information to ICA.

  1. Proof of residency This must prove that the family lives at the location on their application. A detailed list of acceptable residency documents can be found here. It may be a recent:
    • Utility bill
    • Cable bill
    • Tax bill
    • Other government-issued mailing
  2. Financial eligibility Whichever method the family selects, the online application form informs parents what to provide to ICA.
    • For those using the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) method, this typically means providing their completed and signed tax forms from the previous year to ICA.
    • For those using the Department of Revenue (DOR) method, this means providing the social security number(s) of the parent(s) during the application process. 

Students in the Choice program are ICA students in every sense of the word. Families in our school will not know who is participating in the WPCP, and WPCP participants will not know which other students are also part of the WPCP. 

No, the Choice payment covers tuition and education-related fees in full. Expenses not covered by the Choice payment include:

  • Social and extracurricular activities (e.g., athletic fees, movie nights, class retreats)
  • Fees for classes not required for graduation
  • Other fees

The above list is not intended to be exhaustive. If you have questions, please contact ICA for clarification.

Please reach out to us with any questions. We would love to answer them and help you through the application process.
