Week Without Walls (WWW) WWW is a week long off-campus learning experience designed to challenge students physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually to produce a greater awareness of the outside world, their place in it, and the challenge that Christ brings to us to change it. Many students stay in Hong Kong to for their experience, but other groups have previously gone to Indonesia, Philippines and China. For more details, please see ‘Service to the Community’.
Student Council The purpose of the Student Council is to represent, lead and serve the students of ICS, to enrich the academic, social and Christian life of the school, to promote outreach to the community, and to seek to foster communication between students and teachers/administrators.

It is open to anyone playing a traditional jazz band instrument (saxophone, trumpet, trombone, piano, bass, guitar, percussion) or anyone willing to learn one of these as a second instrument. Students wanting to join with a non-traditional jazz band instrument (flute, clarinet, French horn, baritone, tuba, or others) are welcome with director’s approval.
This singing group is for advanced singers in Middle School who like to sing and want to perform in a small group. Singers must audition to take part.

Art Club Students will engage in the production of Art projects beyond their regular art studies.
Newspaper Club Students apply their knowledge of the “6+1 Traits of Writing” outside the classroom in a journalism setting. They use events and topics both inside and outside their school walls to write about items they are passionate about to continue to build their love for writing, as well as their effectiveness as modern day writers. This club is open to all MS students, but members need to fill out an interest sheet, showing their strengths in writing, formatting and producing a paper. Some students will have the opportunity to not only report and write, but to use technology to enhance the presentation of the paper.
Chinese Club This group is an opportunity for students to experience Chinese language and cultural activities in a new and exciting way. Students prepare for competitions, help plan Cultural Day and go on trips to learn about Chinese culture.
Chinese Gas Station All students who take Chinese courses are welcome to attend this weekly time of speaking, playing games and interacting in Mandarin.
Scrabble Club Members join by playing one game. Scores are recorded and tallied year round. A trophy will be given to the one who has top points in May.
