ICS Friends has evolved from the founding PTA. As volunteers, both parents and teachers, our mission is to celebrate and foster our school community. Our Values are Inclusive, Caring, and Safe. In 2021 two ICS parents, Elke Palmaers and Federico Mastroleo, founded the first PTA at ICS Milan and were its first Chairs. ICS Friends is the natural evolution of the PTA and operates as a self-funded group that invests in school projects and donates to local organizations. Giving Projects have supported numerous organizations and totals donated over €24,500 in the past three years, while the Year Book and annual competitive activities have contributed €10,100 for school projects.
