A family’s perspectiv­e Parents: Sam and Heejin Rhee Children: Daniel (12), Caleb (11), Joelle (4)

ICS has been an integral part of our family since our oldest Daniel moved to the school four years ago. We loved the warmth of this special community along with its biblical values and caring teachers so much that, shortly after, we transferre­d our younger son Caleb, who was at another internatio­nal school. Special friendship­s developed quickly for our boys as it did for our whole family. Our children have not only matured and blossomed socially, but spirituall­y and intellectu­ally.

We appreciate the smaller school environmen­t compared to larger schools where children can sometimes feel lost. Having a small grade size also allows the children to build strong friendship­s throughout the whole grade and other grades. The strong sense of community, diverse culture and dedicated heart of the faculty are some of the things that set ICS apart from other schools. Every child also gets an opportunit­y to participat­e in school activities including team sports where the focus is not just on winning, but teamwork and reaching potential.

A WORD FROM THE SCHOOL

The Internatio­nal Community School (ICS) offers each of its 450 students from over 26 nations a holistic education within and beyond the classroom. Our philosophy is to educate the whole student – body, mind and spirit. We believe that through this synergy of the enlightene­d mind and transforme­d lives, our students will truly be empowered to be a dynamic force in our world.

WHAT’S NEW?

As part of its 25th Anniversar­y, the school launched an ICS Legacy Fund campaign with a goal to reach $3 million by year 2021. The mission of the campaign is to provide charitable funding for educationa­l programs, operations and capital initiative­s at ICS.
