Board of Trustees
In 1992, ICS was formed by six mission organizations as a limited liability company, International Christian Schools, Limited (ICSL), to create a Christian school using an American curriculum in an English medium of instruction. The ICSL currently includes the following mission organizations: The Conservative Baptist Foreign Mission Society, Culture Regeneration Research Society (Hong Kong) Ltd., Evangelical Free Church of China, The Free Methodist Church of Hong Kong, The International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Wycliffe Bible Translators (Hong Kong).
Since its founding, ICS has been governed by a Board of Trustees composed of representatives drawn from the ICSL mission organizations and independent members, often parents with students attending the school. In carrying out its work, the Board considers the interests of students, parents, staff, supporting mission institutions, donors, community partners, and the ICSL member mission organizations. International Christian School is blessed with a committed Board of Trustees that has led ICS since its foundation.
