At ICS, we see how God uses this community to renew that love in families. Each week, the Admissions team has the privilege of meeting families who desire to join our school. Every story is unique, some are new to faith, others have followed Christ for many years, but nearly all share a longing for their children to grow in an authentic Christian community.

We’re encouraged by stories from both parents and students who recall their first impressions of ICS, often during an Open House, as a pivotal moment. Many describe how the warmth and sincerity of our student and faculty ambassadors gave them a glimpse of God’s presence here. It is often those small, Spirit-led encounters that persuade families to join, a reminder that faith is not only taught but lived.

As we reflect on these stories, may we remember that our children learn faith best not through words alone but through the example of hearts continually drawn back to Christ. For parents, that may mean slowing down to pray together and leaning on Scripture for daily wisdom. For students, especially our older ones, it may mean making faith your own - walking with Jesus personally, not merely through what you inherit from teachers or parents. And for parents who may not yet have a personal relationship with Christ, perhaps you first heard of Him through a Christian school, a friend, or a university fellowship. Keep seeking and consider opportunities of getting to know Him through ICS. God promises that those who seek Him will find Him.

Let’s continue to center our lives on Christ, allowing His love to renew us daily and shine through to the next generation.

In Christ,

Phebe Fong

Head of Admissions
