The inside track from a current parent

Due to our many international moves both across Asia and Europe, the International Community School (ICS) is the third International Baccalaureate (IB) school attended by our son.

After a careful analysis and detailed review of the range of IB school options available in London, we decided to choose ICS.

We chose ICS for the following three reasons (in addition to the the IB credentials):

a. ICS has an excellent reputation for their high quality teaching staff, as well as offering a very inclusive environment and a superb academic record
b. The option of learning Mandarin as a second language was also a key reason for us to choose ICS
c. The central London location of the school also played an important role as we didn’t want our son spending a long time commuting

Since the beginning of the school year, our son continued to develop his strengths and interests, such as English, Mandarin, Mathematics and Science. ICS has instilled in our child additional interests and passions, such as History, Design and Music.

For us, all of the above create a truly international and multicultural environment.

As parents we love...

The teachers’ attitudes and their engagement with students, which shows great commitment and genuine interest in developing the academic side of the kids and also in transforming them into principled young adults
International and multicultural environment embraced by the school at all levels
Ability to develop and sustain over time a personalised development plan for each student

As pupils we love...

The variety of different subjects
A learning pace adapted to each students’ attitude and capabilities
The chance to learn about others cultures in a safe, friendly and supportive environment, and make lifelong global friends
