The school stands overlooking [[Lake Winnipesaukee]] in the central [[New Hampshire]] town of [[Center Harbor]]. It served approximately 130 students at its heyday. It closed in June 2015.<ref>{{cite web|title=ICAS closes|url=http://www.legionariesofchrist.org/eng/articulos/articulo2.phtml?id=43123&se=242&ca=905&te=586|accessdate=27 July 2015}}</ref> ==Background== The school was formerly a minor seminary and [[novitiate]] of the [[Missionaries of La Salette]]. The property was purchased by the [[Legionaries of Christ]] in 1982, and since that time until its closing in 2015, the school expanded and continued in its purpose to provide a healthy environment for teenage boys. While very few students continued on to a [[seminary]] after graduation, most pursued college or university degrees. Students came from throughout the United States and from several countries around the world including Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, South Korea, and South Africa. ==Academics== The academic program followed a classical liberal arts model with particular attention to classical (Latin and Greek) and modern foreign languages, British and American literature, mathematics and the natural sciences, history, theology, cultural studies, and the fine arts (vocal music, theater arts/communication, and mass media and video production). The [[Latin]] and [[Greek language|Greek]] courses, in particular, encouraged all students to be able to read [[Virgil]]'s [[Aeneid]] in the original Latin and be able to translate the [[Gospel of John]] from the original Greek by senior year. The mathematics program begins with pre-algebra and extends to [[Trigonometry]] and [[Calculus]] with emphasis in theory rather than application. Students were required to take [[Spanish language|Spanish]] as a modern foreign language. Each student was also required to participate in the school’s band and choir program. Students also participated in service to the community in order to graduate. ==Spirituality== Religious services such as the [[Holy Mass]], [[Rosary]], and [[Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament]] were provided regularly for the students. A part of the school's purpose was to help each teenager discern his [[Vocational Discernment in the Catholic Church|vocation]]; students were introduced to [[Catholic spirituality]] which takes different elements from various spiritual authors.<ref name="LC" /> ==Athletics== Athletic activities were numerous and included [[basketball]], [[soccer]], [[ice hockey|hockey]] and [[baseball]]. Outdoor and recreational activities were also provided such as hiking expeditions in the [[White Mountains (New Hampshire)|White Mountains]] and seasonal opportunities for [[swimming (sport)|swimming]], [[boating]], [[skiing]], and [[sledding]]. ==External links== *[http://www.catholicchurchnh.org Catholic Diocese of Manchester] *[http://www.lasalette.org/index.php/about-la-salette/la-salette-news/la-salette-alumni/37-center-harbor-nh Missionaries of La Salette in Center Harbor] *[http://www.lasalette.org/index.php/la-salette-news/la-salette-alumni/37-center-harbor-nh/86-noviciate Pictures of the Missionaries of La Salette Novitiate in Center Harbor] *[http://www.legionariesofchrist.org/eng/articulos/categoria.phtml?lc=se-241_ca-984_ci-801 Catholic Church: boarding schools] == References == {{reflist}} {{Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester}} {{Regnum Christi|state=collapsed}} [[Category:Roman Catholic secondary schools in New Hampshire]] [[Category:Boarding schools in New Hampshire]] [[Category:Boys' schools in the United States]] [[Category:Schools in Belknap County, New Hampshire]] [[Category:Educational institutions established in 1982]] [[Category:Roman Catholic Diocese of Manchester]] [[Category:Roman Catholic boarding schools in the United States]] [[Category:Roman Catholic minor seminaries in the United States]] [[Category:Roman Catholic minor seminaries]]'
