FacultyICS employs a diverse and highly qualified staff of committed and caring teachers, assistant teachers, and administrators. Collectively, our staff hails from 27 countries, and they speak over 15 languages. Our increased language capacity allows ICS to communicate with all of our families, translate our newsletters into four different languages, and enhance our English as a Second Language instruction for our newcomers. Our teachers come from diverse backgrounds – Fulbright scholar, professional artist, author, licensed psychotherapist and education counselor for UNHCR among them – but they are all committed to the same thing for our students: academic excellence through high expectations and individualized education.
One of ICS' most successful innovations is our decision to place assistants in every homeroom. Vital to the success of ICS students, assistants help with translation, cultural transition and the complicated business of learning concepts when you don't speak the language. |
