Welcome to ICS! In my 25 years of experience as an educator, teacher and administrator, I can say with confidence that ICS is one of, if not the best school, I've ever served. ICS stands out because the students are exceptional, unique, and excel in academic achievement. Our award winning choruses and bands and our high ranking sports teams also showcase our students' talents. Our students shine because ICS believes in the overall integration of different human attributes, making each student an individual with something to offer. With the belief that each student has potential, our faculty strives to guide our students to discover their own strengths and skills, and how these can be manifested in practical life applications. How do we achieve this?
In other words, our goal is to follow the example of Jesus in Luke 2:5 by training students to be balanced individuals and by promoting academic, physical, social, and spiritual growth. To that end, ICS offers a comprehensive program of academics, athletics, and fine and performing arts. It is noteworthy to mention that we have one of the best choral and music performance programs in Hong Kong. Offering these programs gives our students various opportunities to develop their creative abilities and talents. We also offer a solid mathematics and science curriculum. Through these courses, we teach our students how to think critically and analytically. All that being said we understand that the world is constantly changing around us and ICS is always open to considering new courses and/or activities that can be administered and added to our spectrum of course offerings. Finally, our students' academic achievements reflect their ICS experience. Our students consistently score well above average on standardized tests. Our students have over a 92% pass rate on Advanced Placement exams. Our students are accepted into universities all over the world. Our mission statement sums up the essence of who we are and ICS is proud that our students are being prepared with the skills and Christian character they need to make a difference in the world. Sincerely, William E. Tackett |
