International Community School (ICS) is a bilingual school
with a focus on science. Our vision is to provide high
quality learning experiences for all students in order to
prepare them for middle school, high school, and beyond.
Our students will be able to translate hands-on science
learning experiences, including active note taking and
academic discussions, into other subject areas in order to
make meaning, think critically, and generate new ideas.
Our students will be prepared to thrive in the 21st Century
by having developed personal, community, and cultural
awareness, as well as building technological and relationship
skills throughout their years at ICS. All ICS students will
become strong readers who feel school is a safe, structured,
and fun environment where all stakeholders, including
families and teachers, are actively engaged in decisionmaking and life-long learning. Our mission for the 2014-15
school year is to foster a caring school community in order
to ensure that our students have the content knowledge
and social emotional skills to have complex academic
conversations. Their oral language will lead to writing clear
and well-organized opinion pieces citing evidence to support
their opinions. We will continue to focus on academic
discourse as it leads to writing with evidence; our students
explain their thinking about what they are reading and the
math problems they attempt to solve. We are providing
more opportunities to use vocabulary through integrating
art lessons and projects with the FOSS science units. We also
want to see more evidence of student learning in science in
the classrooms and in the common areas.
