Making a world of difference

International Community School

 

 

Academic Excellence

 

Students follow the Georgia Performance Standards of the Quality Core Curriculum, which is taught within the framework of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme.  A challenging international program, the IBPYP enables students to employ an investigative, inquiry-based approach to learning.  ICS is implementing the IBPYP while it seeks authorization as an IB World School.  English, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, the arts and other languages are taught in this integrated framework, emphasizing cross-disciplinary thinking, problem-solving and personal wellness.

 

Community in Diversity

 

ICS seeks a diverse student body and staff in terms of national, ethnic, religious and socio-economic backgrounds.  The school helps students to learn about the beliefs and traditions of others and encourages a respectful environment and global perspective.

 

Service-Oriented Education

 

ICS expects students to become independent learners and to feel responsibility for the life of their school community and for the success of all its members.  The school fosters a sense of service to others both within and outside the school community.

 

Family and Community Partnerships

 

ICS partners with parents and community organizations in order to provide families with the educational, social and spiritual services they will need in a multicultural society.
