Learning at ICS Hong Kong
At ICS, we believe that education transforms lives and that students’ character develops best when they learn about the world through a lens of biblical truth. Our holistic approach to learning is caring and academically rigorous, emphasising the importance of knowledge, the acquisition of which underpins deep understandings about self, others and the world.
Rooted in a biblical worldview, our academic program is designed to develop lifelong learners who will be able to meaningfully engage with and participate in the world they will one day lead. By meaningful, we mean that each student should leave ICS with an empathy and love for others that translates into local and global service.
Learning at ICS is guided by our commitment to evidence-based practices and cognitive science. We prioritise a knowledge-based curriculum that is teacher-directed and anchored in the principles of a liberal arts education. Through explicit instruction, modelling, practice, and feedback, students develop the kind of deep thinking and analytical skills that enable them to pursue all that is good, true, and beautiful.
Our standards-based learning framework provides clarity and rigour to ensure measurable growth and alignment with academic goals that prepare our students to apply for and enter the universities and colleges of their choice.
As ICS students grow in knowledge and character, they are equipped to live out our core values of service, excellence, and Christ-like commitment.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
