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. If you would like to partner with
ICS on this journey, visit ics.edu/giving

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.
