Dear All,
We would like to inform you that next week on Friday and Saturday, IICS is hosting another CEESA event. This time HS girls' football teams are coming to Istanbul to compete for the CEESA trophy. Participating schools are Anglo American School of Sofia, The International School of Azerbaijan, QSi Tbilisi, NOVA International School from Skopje, OASIS school from Ankara and our Dolphins. You can see the program, schedule and livestream links on the TOURNAMENT WEBSITE. It would be great if you could come and watch some of the games on Marmara campus and support our team.
At the same time our HS boys team will travel to Skopje to participate in the CEESA tournament hosted by NOVA school, and MS and HS cross country team will participate in the CEESA meet hosted by Anglo American School of Sofia.
This weekend is all about MS football teams since they are participating in their CEESA tournaments in Skopje and Sofia.
Wish all our teams safe travels and best of luck!

SECONDARY SCHOOL
Dear Secondary Parents,
Welcome back from the break, and we hope you had a restful and enjoyable time. It's wonderful to have our students back on campus as we begin the second part of the first semester. The first week back consisted of three on-campus days for our students as Monday had been announced as a holiday, and Wednesday was dedicated to secondary conferences. We want to extend our gratitude to all the parents and students who attended the conferences and to our dedicated faculty members for facilitating these important conversations. Read more..
