ICS has given so much to me!

Cindy attended this year Walkathon and Fall Festival


Cindy at her University - Savannah College of Art in USA

I came to ICS in 2006. I chose this school because of the flexible program that allowed me to focus more on art and also because a variety of classes are offered in the curriculum.

ICS has given so much to me - I definitely wouldn't be who I am today without ICS!
I made many good friends at ICS, and the teachers were friendly. The classes were flexible, allowing me to focus on art. Mr. Meyer's intensive art program has taught me so much valuable knowledge that will definitely stay with me for the rest of my life. If I could go back into time and change one thing during my stay at ICS, it would be to take more of Mr. Meyer's amazing art classes! ICS has really encouraged me to use my talents by giving me the opportunity to design the ICS Green logo, the 2010 High School Camp T-Shirt, the 2011 Jazz Cafe Posters, the 2011 Annual Report Cover, and most recently the Red Packet Design and this year Walkathon’s publication.


Please enjoy some of Cindy's works!

ICS offers a nurturing Christian environment

Carmen Kirschke (Class of 2012) with her parents serve as missionary in Hong Kong

When my parents and I moved from the US to Hong Kong in 2009, they wanted a school that was not only international but also offered a nurturing Christian environment. After our family toured various schools, the decision was made for me to attend ICS. 

When I first came to ICS, I found the place to be very positive: I noticed a level of mutual respect among peers. ICS encourages a friendly atmosphere which helps students to come out of their comfort zone and socialize. It provided the meeting place and right climate for my friendships to blossom. Many of my teachers are caring, compassionate, and committed to teaching. Through bible classes and chapels, I learned more about the nature of God and the people who taught me the most about a relationship with Christ are my teachers and classmates. 
ICS challenged me to analyze and think critically about different aspects of life. I always had the opportunity and encouragement to ask questions when I wanted to learn more or was confused about something. Through the diverse clubs and electives ICS offers, it allows everyone an opportunity to discover their talents and interests. I discovered my talent for acting through drama class, and ICS has offered several opportunities for me to perform onstage for performances and public speaking.

To this day, I still enjoy anything related to theater or acting. ICS definitely raised the bar in terms of academic expectations and standards. Now I am equipped with the higher level thinking skills that will help me in college.
