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.
I started at ICS as an ESL student in Grade 6, and my teachers surrounded me with real love and patience that changed my life. Their care inspired my approach as both a teacher and a counselor.
After twists and turns in my career, God led me back to ICS, truly an answer to prayer for work where I can walk alongside students and help impact their lives. This community still values warmth, understanding, and supporting every child’s growth, just as it did when I was a student.”
Elementary School Counselor ICS Alumna, Class of 2005
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)
During my years at ICS, I was affectionately known as “Mr. Greeter.” Originally from Ecuador, I first came to Hong Kong as a missionary, later pastoring a church and teaching Greek at a Bible college. I joined the ICS community in 1992 when my son became a student, starting out as a volunteer before serving as janitor, security guard, and eventually as the school’s “official greeter” when we moved to the Shek Mun Campus.
I retired in 2018 with countless fond memories of students, parents, and staff who became like family. Whether riding the train with students after school or cheering them on at games, it was a blessing to share God’s love through a simple welcome at the door and to witness His hand in shaping this community.”
Former Official School Greeter
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
Jordan moved to Hong Kong when his parents joined the ICS staff, starting as a middle schooler and graduating in 2012. After college and exploring other career paths, he returned in 2019 to work at ICS alongside his mom and sister.
“ICS has been a home for my family and me, first as a student and now as part of the staff. There’s a real culture of forgiveness and teamwork here; even through challenges like COVID, we’ve always supported and learned from each other,” Jordan reflects.
Senior IT Officer ICS Alumnus, Class of 2012
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.”

🌍 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. 📚

For those who’ve been part of ICS for a while, you’ll remember this familiar face… ✨ Mr. Coello a.k.a Mr. Greeter ✨
Every morning, Mr. Coello welcomed students at the door with his warm smile 💙 and a high five to start the day. 🙌
What made him special wasn’t just his greeting, it was the way he genuinely cared for students. He shared how our Secondary School students would stop by his room to invite him to take the train home together 🚇 or ask him to cheer them on at home games. ⛹️♂️
To Mr.Coello, ICS students and families were more than a community. They became like 💕family to him here in Hong Kong.🇭🇰
At the end of his visit, he prayed with us and reminded us that God’s faithfulness is always with ICS…every day, every week, every year…and year after year. Amen! 🙏
