School Notes
- What is the Heart of ICHS?
- Our students come from 19 countries in addition to our domestic students. Because we have a long history of educating international students we have the experience necessary to support the acquisition of English, while at the same time challenging students with strong academics. ICSH offers 6 university classes for university credit, ranging from British Literature to Calculus. Because ICHS is a smaller school, we can tailor your program to fit your ability. In addition, students can learn and to play a sport that they have never played before.Our mission, which is central to our school culture, ensures a family-like community of learners who support and care for one another. This is so important for students who are so far from home. In addition, we are committed to service in the larger community having service projects in Philadelphia, New York City, Belize, Jamaica, Mexico, Bolivia, and Liberia. Service projects to these places involve feeding the homeless, creating shelter for women and children, offering hope through education and training to children and ongoing financial support to orphanages and schools in multiple locations and countries.
