 I. C. S. has the unique opportunity to enroll students from many countries who bring with them their rich cultural heritage and a driving desire to learn to speak, read, write and continue their course-work in English. Classes are offered at primary, junior and senior high school levels up to grade 10.
The teachers present an intensive study beginning with the alphabet and phonics, covering grammar; spelling, vocabulary, and reading each day so that goals are met and challenges are presented constantly. Our teachers are native English speakers who understand from first- hand experience the frustrations involved in learning a new language.
As students progress to the advanced level, they are mainstreamed into the regular class situations beginning with math and science. Exceptional students enter regular classes full time within six months and most of them by the end of twelve months.
The entire staff and student-body make an effort to involve ESL students in all activities so that they interact socially and can apply what they learn in the classroom. We know that "practice makes perfect", so we encourage all students to practice their English, not only ESL students.
