Overview

The International Community School (ICS) is a private, independent, co-educational day school comprised of international and community students in both the upper elementary and middle schools. ICS has a rigorous educational program with high academic and achievement standards serving fifteen local and fifteen international students for a maximum total enrollment of only thirty students. The international diversity of ICS along with individual and small group instruction maximizes a student's potential and global perspective.

ICS is dedicated to the advancement of cultural awareness and understanding in order to build positive personal and professional relationships. By having a variety of cultures represented in our enrollment, and by exploring cultures on an intellectual basis, gives the students at ICS a personal insight into the differences and similarities of today's cultures, and better prepares them for the demands and requirements of the 21st century.

In addition to a rigorous educational program, and the advancement of cultural awareness and understanding, the International Community School uses the exploration of viable and sustainable solutions to global issues within its instructional framework. ICS offers its students the chance to work on real issues affecting our world within the context of authentic learning. This type of learning affords our students the unique opportunity to better understand the issues, the solutions, and their impact on the world's cultures and societies.
