International Community School (ICS) was founded in 1993 by a group of parents from different nationalities and walks of life. Their goal was to establish a Christian school in Singapore to serve the needs of both corporate and missionary expatriates.
ICS is the only Christian international school in Singapore. It is a mid-sized school of over 400 students, offering instruction from preschool (age 3) through Grade 12 (pre-university), using an American-based curriculum. United States citizens comprise nearly half of the student body, and the remaining students represent 25 countries.
The staff body consists of over 40 well-qualified ICS faculty members coming mostly from the US; however, the faculty also represents graduates from universities in Canada, Australia, Singapore, and Sweden. Class sizes average between 15-20 students, allowing each student to receive a maximum amount of individual attention. Teachers are involved in the students’ overall well-being through after school activities including athletics programs and Bible study programs.
ICS is a member of the Network of International Christian Schools (NICS), an interdenominational mission organization with its headquarters in the USA. It is fully accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). It is also registered with the Ministry of Education (Singapore) (MOE).

“What a wise and good parent will desire for his own children a nation must desire for all children.”
