Dear High School Community,
I hope everyone had a refreshing Fall Break and enjoys the additional day off next Monday. As we look ahead, two significant events are on the horizon. ICS will host an Asia Christian Schools Conference (ACSC) tournament, and we will hold our Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTCs).
The High School Office has already shared instructions for signing up for conferences. Please note that registration will close at 5 pm on October 21. Meetings will take place online through Microsoft Teams, and each teacher’s meeting link will be provided next week. To help the conferences run smoothly, we kindly ask everyone to keep to the allotted meeting times.
Teachers will come prepared to provide an overview of your student’s performance and progress in their classes, as well as to discuss any important questions or concerns you may have. During my seven years as a teacher at ICS, Parent-Teacher Conferences were among the most encouraging times of the school year. They provided valuable opportunities to connect personally with families, celebrate students’ growth, and exchange both encouragement and constructive feedback. I trust that this year’s conversations will be equally fruitful as we continue working together to support our students.
It is hard to believe that we are already halfway through the semester. I am thankful for the hard work, commitment, and perseverance demonstrated by our faculty and students thus far, and I pray that we will finish the remainder of the calendar year well.
God bless you during this long weekend. Best of luck to our student-athletes competing next week, and I look forward to the fruit of our conversations during Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Blessings,
Kiel Nation, D.Min
High School Principal

Whether you plan to attend university near or far, you can stay on track with the SAT. Most colleges—including those that are test optional—still accept SAT test scores. Together with high school grades, the SAT can show your potential to succeed in college or career. And if you're thinking about studying abroad, there are more than 400 universities in 85 countries outside the United States that use the SAT in the admissions process.
