Northtown turned out to be exactly that place! What were your favorite classes at CICS Northtown Academy? What made them special? I really enjoyed my social studies classes at Northtown. It was the first time I realized I had an interest in history. I had wonderful teachers who gave compelling lectures and painted vivid pictures of what things used to be like in bygone eras. It captured my imagination and inspired me to do my own investigation to learn more about the time periods that interested me most.”
