Dear Middle School Parents and Students,
The school's mission is to equip students to serve and transform their communities by delivering excellent Christian education designed to cultivate their character, nurture their God-given abilities, and prepare them for life, including tertiary education.
As we settle into this school year, we appreciate hearing from you regarding the school's delivery of its mission from your unique perspective as parents. To that end please take a few minutes to complete this survey which seeks your impressions regarding learning, workload, student wellbeing, and the delivery of our spiritual and academic mission. The survey may be accessed through the link below.
If you currently have more than one student in middle school, please fill out a separate survey for each of your students. The survey must be accessed through your ICS parent email account.
Thank you for your participation and support!
Blessings.
Will Schroeder
Middle School Principal

In anticipation of the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, the World Languages Department is excited to announce a Han Fu Day celebration on September 29th for Secondary and October 3rd for Elementary. We encourage all students to wear their prepared Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing) to embrace and celebrate our rich cultural heritage during this festive occasion.
On this day, students may choose to wear Hanfu to school; alternatively, they are required to wear their school uniforms. We believe this event will provide students with a wonderful opportunity to learn about and appreciate traditional Chinese culture while deepening their understanding of the significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
We invite you, as parents, to engage in this celebration by preparing Hanfu that reflects the unique characteristics of Chinese culture. Your involvement will not only enhance your child's experience but also foster a sense of pride in their heritage. Whether it's selecting a beautiful Hanfu or sharing stories about its significance, your participation will enrich this cultural celebration.
Making Friends in MS
Making Friends in MS
The movements between classes of any typical MS day means any one student is not stuck in the same class anymore, and no one is forced to be with anyone in particular for longer than just one block at a time: it's possible to make friends with a much wider group of people at school and outside as well.
A few weeks ago, an email was sent to MS students to spark some reflection about making friends. And once again: as a MS parent, one of the most valuable things to work on is a thick skin (and a poker face) so that nothing your child shares with you shocks you. The attached list might provide an opportunity for a conversation about the awkward topic of friendships: when our children are young, scheduling playdates ensures they make friends with classmates or peers. As a pre-teen, it's harder.
Have a read and reach out to Mrs. M if needed for further conversations about navigating the ups and downs of MS.
