English is the language of instruction across ICS's K4–12 program. An English Language Learners (ELL) program provides tailored support for non-native English speakers, with an English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA) required before application to determine eligibility. ELL support runs from Pre-K through Grade 12, with Levels 1–3 and in-class or direct-support options, and an additional student services fee applies. The High School curriculum is conducted in English and includes an American curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
International Community School (ICS) caters for students aged 4 to 18 and follows the American curriculum. It culminates in a High School Diploma, with Advanced Placement (AP) courses also available. Facilities at ICS include science labs, sports facilities, and a performing arts theatre that hosts seasonal productions helped by an active drama club. Additionally, students benefit from opportunities such as international exchanges and academic competitions.
