VP of Marketing & Sales Reflects On His Experience at CICS Northtown Academy.
I chose CICS Northtown Academy because I struggled heavily with ADHD in middle school and wanted to attend a high school with an excellent program and support in place that would help me to flourish. CICS Northtown Academy turned out to be exactly that place!

Who I am now is thanks to CICS Northtown Academy.
Though I had my ups and downs, my experience at CICS Northtown was unforgettable. I remember not knowing anyone on my first day of school. I was terrified I might be isolated because I struggled with speaking English. However, my advisors Jennifer Bender and Dawn Navejas reached out and made me feel comfortable in my English as a Second Language program.
