"ICS is a strong community"

If you’re looking for the student most involved with ICS affairs, look no further than David Woo. David has been in the ICS student council for 7 years since 6^th grade and is now the high school president of ICS. He has experienced ICS “to its full potential” by fitting in every possible thing in his schedule to the point that he has no free lunch blocks or after-school blocks. ICS has inevitably molded this student into who he is today.

David transferred to ICS when he was in third grade in 2001 because ICS was “a reputable school in the Christian community.” He explained what really made ICS different from other schools by lavishing praise about it.

 “It is a strong community,” he said. “A close-knit one. There’s a positive and friendly atmosphere and is open to everyone. The teachers are extremely friendly. The school provides lots of extracurricular activities which many have the opportunity to enjoy because of the small size of the student body. Also, the faculty-student ratio is good so every teacher and student knows each other and reaches a personal level of relationship.”



David then recalled a memorable episode that emphasized this personal relationship between students and teachers. He was once involved in an unlikely fist fight in middle school with another student and a teacher was there to witness it. Instead of reporting back to the school, the teacher kept it confidential to help the students overcome their conflict. It is no wonder David has become touched with the school.

ICS has helped David become a more sociable character, one who can communicate effectively with others. Of course, this is a key arsenal that is required of a president. He is confident that he can interact with anybody. Now he is about to graduate and getting ready to head out to university. We hope that he will be able to use his skills developed in ICS to reach out to others in the community.
