"A place that you spend 7 hours daily should definitely be considered a second home. ICS raised me into the person I am today, built my personality, and made me a confident student. All my teachers inspire me, and I look up to them always. The organization and rules in school helped me follow a specific and organized strategy in life to perform my best and succeed. These 14 years of my life will always be a nice memory to look back at and remember all the fun activities we used to do in school. I would like to thank my school that puts all the effort and hard work to build an independent, confident generation that is willing to work and make the future brighter."

Khalid Ismail G12 D / ICS MUSHRIF

"All kids deserve the right to a high-quality education, and that’s exactly what ICS provides. Even though it might not be the perfect school but it provides what its students need. The teachers are friendly but that doesn’t mean they don’t do their jobs perfectly. The teachers might not be able to ideally interpret the information to the student every time, but they don’t give up on a student, they are always open for questions and are always willing to help the learner until he/she fully understands and receive the information they need.
The school also provides a lot of sources to help with our education and understanding of the curriculum. From digital resources to worksheets and information that might not be in the syllabus but might help in the future. Now, campus wise, the school provides all the facilities a student might need. From labs to a football field and even a swimming pool and those facilities are always clean and ready for our use. I had a long history with this school and I’m glad that I’m going to be an ICS graduate and I’m thankful for everybody that made my journey in this school memorable."

Caoimhe - Year 6 Leader / ICS City Centre

At ICS, we put the children first and ensure they are safe and happy in their learning environment. If this isn’t the case, the children do not learn and we cannot teach effectively. We have many systems in place to ensure that our children are safe in and out of school and that we are addressing the learning needs of all children. We have a broad range of personalities and experiences among our teaching staff and each offers something different to our students and to each other. Teachers learn from other teachers.

Ms. Rehab Serhan / Math Coordinator

"I have been a teacher at ICS for more than a decade and I have observed and lived the stupendous progress towards the excellence of education at this school. The only competitor to us is ourselves. We have reached this far due to the tremendous support of our serious and diligent administrators; dedication and hard work of our academic and supportive staff and the unshaken will of our esteemed students. We have successfully attained both local and regional recognition. Such achievements will make us even more persistent to reach a higher level of excellence in the near future. The gratitude and appreciation to all who contributed to the root of our success. March on ICS."

The internal work environment at ICS far exceeds any organization for which I’ve worked.  ICS stresses the importance of employee satisfaction. ICS truly values its employees; many people have been at ICS for 10+ years which motivates me to carry on.

ICS embodies what it means to be an organization. They are organized and united under a mission that they truly carry out every day. This is my first year as a Head of KG and Elementary, I have never felt unsupported or alone; there has always been someone to turn to for help or advice."

Mrs. Wasila Khalaf / Class teacher 1A

"I have been a teacher at International Community School for ten years. I truly believe that ICS is one of the finest schools in our area. ICS is dedicated to providing a quality education for children and has such a strong UAE identity and commitment to the UAE culture. My eldest son graduated from ICS and has such happy memories of his years at ICS. 

Over the years I have had the privilege of working with the most dedicated teachers, administrators, and staff possible. The education given at ICS provides an excellent framework for the student’s future success in high school and college.

ICS is a very special school. It is not only a school, a place for learning, but it is also a home in many ways. The administration, teachers, parents, and students all have a connection and a bond that unites us. Not only are academic subjects taught, but the focus is also placed on developing deep and meaningful relationships. Fond and funny memories are held close to our hearts and are shared over a lifetime. The students use their intellects, talents, and gifts to stretch themselves and become the best they can be. Most of all, ICS is a warm and welcoming home where students feel safe and loved.”

Students are challenged by a dedicated team of caring, professional faculty who work collaboratively to instill core values in each lesson every day. For the community, ICS provides an invaluable resource. The school spirit and atmosphere, sense of community involvement, the camaraderie between students make everyone willing to be a part of such a great school.

I feel fortunate to be teaching at a school that I love!”
