The ICS High School program (Grades 9-12) offers a rigorous, well-rounded, and flexible curriculum, taught by subject specialists from a Biblical worldview. We promote holistic growth through diverse courses, including a robust Advanced Placement (AP) program that provides university-level study and college credits, offering significant flexibility for global university admissions.
Our Tribe advisory program delivers consistent four-year mentorship, building strong bonds and supporting students through academics, university planning, co-curriculars, and identity formation. Refer to the age chart for age and Grade Placement.
ICS graduates have been accepted into leading universities around the world, a testament to their preparation, character, and faith.
Every student in Grade 9-12 is assigned to a University Advisor (UA), who provides individual and group advising. The UAs help prepare students for life after high school, for university, college, and career options. UAs work collaboratively with students and families to guide them through the university search and application process.
My daughter Allison joined ICS in middle school, and since then, it has been amazing to see her grow into a confident and independent young woman who truly takes charge of her own learning and development. With the guidance of teachers and University Advisors, she is thoughtfully charting her own path toward the university and major she’s passionate about. One of the greatest joys for us as parents has been witnessing Allison dive into activities she loves including service activities, interest clubs, and leading school committees. These days, I find myself much more involved in my daughter’s school life rather than her school work, supporting her in performances, sports events, and even friendships. It brings me comfort to see how the relationships Allison has built with friends and teachers at ICS have helped shape her into a thoughtful and mature young lady.”
Mom of Two ICS Girls
Over nine years at ICS, I’ve witnessed many changes and met countless people, but what remains constant is the spirit of care that shapes every day here. I especially enjoy working at the entrance, where the pace is lively and I get to help students safely arrive and leave – rain or shine. It’s heartwarming when kids and parents greet me by name, sharing quick chats or jokes; these personal connections make the job special.
Whether it’s morning arrival or after-school dismissal, coordinating with colleagues and mentoring new staff, I’m proud to be part of a team that prioritizes safety and supports the ICS community.”
School Security Officer
Alan joined ICS in October 2020 after working for years in engineering and facilities management. Although the transition was challenging at first, he’s grown to appreciate the community and values that make ICS special.
“At ICS, I’ve found a supportive environment where my work is truly appreciated—teachers and students don’t hesitate to say thank you. As a staff member and a parent, I see firsthand how this school values every individual,” Alan reflects. “Being part of a Christian community helps me approach my work with clarity and integrity, and I’m grateful for the extra time I get with my children. ICS is a place where growth, gratitude, and care really matter.”
Facilities Manager
When I first joined ICS, my biggest challenge was finding a close group of friends. I overcame this by putting myself out there and joining sports teams that matched my interests, which was a game-changer. When you’re part of a team, you automatically join a community that trains, competes, and experiences all the highs and lows together – that’s where I made my best friends.
Beyond the classroom and the sports field, my journey has been further defined by our service trips, like traveling to Indonesia during Week Without Walls to help a village prone to flooding. These experiences were incredible highlights that pushed me to grow in my thinking and also offered an opportunity to develop spiritually through our daily devotions and reflections.”
Grade 9 Student (Class of 2029)
Transitioning from a local school to ICS, I was initially anxious about adjusting to a new environment and different ways of learning. However, I felt welcomed by the community, and the transition turned out to be much smoother than I expected. ICS has encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone, especially through opportunities in public speaking and leadership, both of which have been invaluable life skills. Leading the Service Warriors club, joining as a designer in the Marketing Club, and taking part in Week Without Walls allowed me to discover new interests and build meaningful friendships. I am truly grateful for my teachers and friends who have supported me and helped me to grow into a more confident and independent person.”
Grade 11 Student (Class of 2027)
When we were choosing a school for Joshua, we intentionally looked for an environment that values family growth. We wanted evenings for family time, not just homework and revisions. A Christian education was also essential, as we hoped for him to be influenced by like-minded individuals who would support building his character development.
Since Joshua joined ICS in Grade 6, it has been a gift from God to watch him mature into a resilient and independent young man. We see his growth everywhere, from managing his daily commute to balancing academics and sports on his own. It brings us immense joy to see him learning to take ownership of his life within ICS’s safe and supportive community.
A true highlight for us as parents has been supporting him at games and concerts. What stands out is that, unlike other environments focused solely on skills and results, the teacher-coaches at ICS prioritize character development and resilience above all.”

🎥 Grateful for Our ICS Community
Looking back at our Open House at the end of September, we’re reminded how much can be accomplished when our community comes together. 💛 From teachers and staff to parent and student ambassadors, everyone played a part in creating a warm, welcoming day (even with Typhoon Ragasa on the way!).
This week, as we gather for Parent-Teacher Conferences, we’re so proud to see how far our students have come. 🏃🏻♂️➡️Learning is a continuous journey, and we’re so thankful to walk alongside our families, celebrating growth, resilience, and transformation every step of the way. 🌱✨

🌍 Last Friday, just after our city faced the impact of Typhoon Ragasa, our Grade 9s joined a poverty simulation at Crossroads Foundation.
By making and selling paper bags to “earn” their daily needs, they experienced a glimpse of the struggles many face each day. The experience encouraged them to reflect on what they have and how they can better use their own resources to support those in need.

💛 It was so wonderful to see our students back after Typhoon Ragasa, full of smiles and excitement as they returned to school.
🌟 None of that would have been possible without our amazing Facilities Management team. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the school was safe and ready for everyone’s return.
🙏 We’re truly grateful for all that they do, often out of the spotlight, but always keeping our community going.
Thank you for everything! 🥹

✨ Last Saturday at Parent U, we came together to reflect on the heart of parenting - connecting with our kids, nurturing our marriages, and keeping God at the center. 💛
🛣️Even when the road ahead feels uncertain, we can rest in the assurance that our children’s future is in His hands. 💗He knows them, loves them, and cares for them even more deeply than we do.
👣We’re grateful to walk this journey alongside you. Thank you to our parents for joining us and to our speakers for sharing wisdom and encouragement. ✨

🎶✨ Our Lower Elementary students enjoyed a special Symphonic Stories experience yesterday.
Led by Mrs. McKenzie and Mrs. Cheung, the HS Bands and Strings brought children’s favorites like The Gruffalo, Ish, The Day the Crayons Quit, and Can I Play Too? to life through music and narration. 🎻📚
This creative blend of storytelling and sound gave our younger learners a fresh and joyful way to experience these beloved tales. 🌟
Which one is your favorite? 😍

🌱Last Friday, our elementary school teachers used the afternoon of an early release day to collaborate and grow together. By sharing ideas and working as a team, they explored new ways to inspire and support their students.
And even on a day like ⛈️today, when there are no classes, students can continue learning on their own. 📚
