If you search the past links, there are a lot of ICS comments but some unnecessary agruments activated, then no further.
ICS result is getting better and better, as it is a Christian school, the school, parents and students have different values on top of the academic results. The teachers I came across are caring and strict, all students were taught to respect their teachers. As ICS has its own compus, more weathy families join the school and some artists kids too. Don't worry, all ICS families are the same, nobody gets special treat. In the past a lot of return familes from overseas thus a lot of Chinese faces.
The waiting list is long and every, they accept a few new students from other schools (mostly from LS) after P1. ICS arranges no more than a few
new students (2to3) to each class thus they pick up spoken English very soon if they open themselves. As most of the kids start from kindergarten, students nearly know eveyone in their forms or one grade up or down, very closy. As more weathy local familye join, the academic was pushed up very fast, not relaxing at all. Middle school is a big gap from Elementary.
Parents relationship is good too and supportive (my experience), the school welcome all familes, Christian, non Christian familes. Don't worry about the religious, no bias at all. The matter is whether you and your kid participate to the school.
Chinese program has been improvement a lot but tutorial is a must to kids, we started a bit late than others.
The school made report on academic result and internal matter to ICS families only. you can't find it on her website. The school remains low profile all the time.
If you want to know more about the school, you may join their Fall Festival (mostly Sat in in Oct or Nov) which is opened to public. The kids can play and you may look around and feel the atmosphere.
Also, the summer school, most ICS students join the first session and otuerside join the second seession they start their summer vacations in mid-July. ICS also employs their seniors students or graduate students as the assistant in the summder school. Kids love them, no matter ICS or non-ICS students. Must pay attention to the info around Easter, they post it on their website, junior years e.g. kindergarten and lower elementary are very popular.
I learnt from my friend that his son (aged 5 - 6) did not like to speak English at all. After two sessions (four weeks) summer school, great improvement.
Hope it help to ICS fans. All the best, waiting list is long but no harm for trying and waiting. If you are lucky, they would add extra class for some grade. Two or three years ago, they add extra class to Grade four & five (the last two years of elementary), a lot of new comers.
Don't expect a lot of space for Grade six(first year of middle school) as most of ICS students stay, only a few left for good, or other school.
ICS is more than a school for academic results, even some students have very good SAT, they might not pick Ivy colleges etc, they have their own reason to pick the colleges to suit their need, e.g. financial, family or personal value or religious.
Hope the above information is help to you. |
