London, 24th July, 2010 - A well-rounded education and dynamic learning experience are what turn young children and teenagers into successful adults. The right choice of school is imperative for a bright future in a chosen academic field.
Many of the quintessential requirements for an educational practice can be found in the London-based International Community School (ICS). ICS is a genuine celebration of diversity - the student body contains more than 65 nationalities. Their international focus helps them stand out from others schools of a similar calibre.
ICS is an independent school that offers English language support. This could be for those with special needs or those struggling to learn the language. All pupils aged between 3 and 18 years old can participate in this programme if required. The passion for inclusion is abundant, as courses like these demonstrate.
Recognised as one of the top IB schools in the country, ICS offers an impressive curriculum. This was designed to have a wide appeal to students of all backgrounds and credentials. A celebration recently took place inside their London walls. The title was 'International Day', and the theme - 'Young People in the 21st Century'. Students participated in various workshops and projects based on the future and the environment.
The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) was developed for pupils aged 11 to 16. This is a complex curricular framework that encourages participants to embrace and understand connections between the subject content and the real world. It places a strong emphasis on the development of reflective thinking skills. The MYP contains 8 subjects and requires all students to participate in the community and service schemes. This helps them to develop a sense of belonging and appreciation.
The Primary Years Program is a good resource for the development of primary life skills. This is for the younger students aged between 3 and 11 years old. The focus is on real life issues, as well as more traditional subjects such as language, mathematics, the arts and social studies.
The 'Travel and Learning' programme takes students outside ICS and into the great outdoors. Recently, the group visited Scotland and Iceland. With countless events planned for the near future, this is one group that is constantly celebrated among students and the adult participants.
About International Community School: ICS provides a dynamic learning experience for children aged 3 to 18 from all over the world. In accordance with the school's passion for inclusion, numerous programmes have been developed to suit different students' needs in all areas. ICS aims for educational excellence by developing independent, inquiring and collaborative learners within a safe, enjoyable and stimulating environment.
