MISSION STATEMENT

     The mission of the International Community School is to provide the highest quality education to our students. Using our philosophy, and in partnership with parents, we strive to prepare each student for a productive and meaningful life in a rapidly changing and highly competitive world.

WHAT IS ICS?

      The International Community School (ICS) is a private, independent, co-educational day school comprised of international and community students in both the upper elementary and middle schools. ICS provides the educational foundation students need to excel in high school and beyond.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

      ICS has a rigorous educational program with high academic and achievement standards. Our tailored learning approach, coupled with real-world application of that learning, builds problem-solving and thinking skills that will serve the students throughout their lives. We give our students opportunities to practice their problem solving skills on real issues. This authentic learning affords our students the unique opportunity to better understand the issues, the solutions, and their impact on the world’s cultures and societ- ies.

CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING

      ICS is dedicated to the advancement of cultural understanding in order to build positive personal and professional relationships. By having a variety of cultures represented in our enrollment, and by exploring cultures on an intellectual basis, we give the students at ICS a personal insight into the differences and similarities of today’s cultures. This better prepares them for the life in the 21st century.


BODY AND MIND

     ICS provides frequent opportunities to be outdoors using our environment as an educational tool. Field trips are integrated into our curriculum to maximize learning. In addition, our students have ample oppor- tunity to participate in a variety of physical activities, keeping the body sound and the mind clear and sharp.

INSTRUCTIONAL PHILOSOPHY

     ICS is a great way to be ready for the rigors of a challenging high school. We assess each student individually and then help them master the funda- mentals of each subject and area before moving on to the next concept. We train our students to be thinkers and learners equipped with the knowledge, skills, strate- gies, and confidence to be successful. Successful stu- dents are confident learners with the attitude necessary to confront new areas of discovery. With the learning attributes acquired at ICS our students will be better able to meet the challenges that await them in our diverse world.

AVERAGE TEST SCORES

     ICS uses the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skill, OAKS, standardized test with 98% of our students, including our international students, meet- ing or exceeding these state standards in all curricular areas.
