Advanced Placement (AP) Program

Thirteen AP courses are offered in a wide range of subjects.  These courses are considered college level and many universities in North America offer credit for students who score well on the exams. AP examination scores for ICS students regularly average above 90% each year, achieving scores of 3 or higher (on a 5 point scale.)

Honors Program

ICS also offers 15 honors courses: Advanced Art, Audition Band, Audition Chorus, Audition Music, American Literature, British Literature, Mandarin 5 and 6, Middle Eastern Studies, Psychology, Biology, Physics, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Statistics.

In addition to excelling in AP and Honors Programs, ICS students also consistently score above the overall USA average on the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT).
