Choosing a new school can be a daunting task and so we are delighted you are interested in International Community Schools for your child's education. Our mission is to empower the next generation by promoting academic excellence whilst nurturing key values and competencies in our students, enabling them to develop into future leaders. We do this by inspiring a lifelong love of learning, promoting our values of Tolerance, Care, Honesty, Respect and Integrity, by both inspiring and challenging our students. ICS is very inclusive, but we may assess your child as part of the admission process to ensure that we can offer your child the best opportunities to fulfil their potential, academically, emotionally and socially.
Our Admissions team will guide you through the process. An overview of the application process is summarised as follows:
