Overview
ICS curriculum follows the Georgia Performance Standards taught within the framework of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. A challenging international program, the IBPYP enables students to employ an investigative, inquiry-based approach to learning. English, mathematics, science, and social studies are taught in this integrated framework, emphasizing cross-disciplinary thinking, problem-solving and personal wellness.
Further setting ICS apart is the commitment to every child studying art, music and physical education as a part of their regular instruction.
All students also study a second language. Native speakers of languages other than English must go through a rigorous ESL program before joining their classmates in either French or Spanish.
A commitment to foreign language study, art, music, drama and physical education is one of the things that sets ICS apart from other schools. |
The strength of ICS lies in its focus on educating the whole child, seeking to develop the innate curiosity of students while celebrating cultural differences in a challenging, nurturing and intentionally multi-ethnic environment.
