ICS Annual Report 2014-2015

October 2015

Dear ICS Community,

International Community School Bangkok started over 22 years ago and has a rich his-tory in serving students from over 20 different nations each year. We are proud of the mission of our school which fosters lifelong learning, responsibility as world citizens, and a team attitude towards community in our students.

The Annual Report highlights the strengths of ICS students, teachers, and the learn-ing community as a whole. This school has grown tremendously since its infancy, due largely to committed teachers, administrators, and support staff, as well as dedicated parents who have entrusted ICS with their children’s education. It is an honor to showcase the growth of ICS, demonstrating how God has blessed us in the past and will prayerfully continue to bless our community in the future. The 2014-15 school year was a year marked by student growth and success in and out of the classroom. Here are some points to highlight:

The list of accomplishments can go on and on. In the end, God earns credit for our successes and for what He is doing in the lives of our students, teachers, and staff. Sincerely, ICS Administration

n 1981, expatriate families began a coop-erative to educate their children from a bibli-cal worldview. The cooperative continued for 12 years, providing first grade to sixth grade education. In 1990, many of these expatriate families and The Network of International Christian Schools met to discuss the feasibili-ty of establishing a Christian school to provide kindergarten through twelfth grade education to the English speaking international commu-nity in Bangkok.

In 1993, a suitable site was leased and the name International Community School (ICS)

was chosen. The school was located on Soi Prong Jai in the Sathon area of Bangkok and welcomed 120 students when it opened in Au-gust 1993. The school’s ownership was given to, and remains with the International Com-munity School Educational Foundation, a not-for profit foundation registered in Thailand.

In 1998, ICS received accreditation from two U.S. based accrediting agencies: The Western Association of Schools and Colleges and The Association of Christian Schools International. The school expanded each year until it offered a K-12th grade education. The ICS community

celebrated its first graduating class in 1998.

In 2002, the local school board of Interna-tional Community School chose to become independent of the Network of International Christian Schools in favor of governance by its local school board.

ICS enrollment consistently increased and outgrew the leased facility, despite several on-site building projects. The ICS Educational Foundation Board and the ICS administration, with the generous support of the families of ICS, purchased the current 16.2 rai plot of

land in Bangna and began building in 2003. International Community School opened the Bangna campus in September 2004 with close to 500 students in four-year-old kindergarten through twelfth grade. The original campus at Soi Prong Jai was closed in June 2007.

ICS continues the tradition of offering qual-ity Christian education for the international English speaking community and now edu-cates approximately 960 students from over 22 nations.

ICS Governing Board

he ICS Board works “behind the scenes” to establish a vision and mission of ICS—to continuously excel as a Christ-centered learning community. The board establishes governing policies and monitors school performance on a regular basis. Like the ICS student body, the board is di-verse—from different countries and occupations. Selected through a careful screening process, ICS Board members are volunteers who share their time and talents to serve the ICS community.

F i n a n c e s od continually provides graciously for ICS financially. The 2014-2015 school

year showed progress in our financial stability. Enrollment has steadily increased,

as it has every year since the school’s inception, contributing to a 4.5% increase

in total revenue over the prior year. Meanwhile, our costs have grown at a faster

pace of 6.3% compared to the prior year due to increased spending on our facili-

ties and students, as we continue on our vision to excel our learning community.

G

l 10.5M baht on building and facility improvements, including a renovation of the Band Room, refurbishing of Middle School classrooms, resurface of the Elemen-tary Courtyard, and additional classrooms in the Secondary Building.

l 6.1M baht on technology, including full Wi-Fi coverage of the Elementary Build-ing, all-new iMacs for the computer lab, and upgraded bandwidth throughout the campus

l In additional to the educational and facilities spending, we were able to fully pay off and retire the loan associated with the Athletic and Recreation Center a few years in advance of its maturity, saving on years of interest expense and putting ICS in a stronger financial position going forward.

S t u d e n t S e r v i c e s

ICS’ ESL Program is a pull-out program that provides a small class setting where students focus on improving their English. The goal is to better equip the students for academic success in the regular classroom. Students learn English holistically in the literature-based ESL Program. Currently four ESL teachers serve 118 students in the ESL Program.

English as a Second Language (ESL)

Learning Support at ICS offers two distinct programs. First, the learning support program seeks to help students achieve success in the mainstream classrooms. The program included learning support teachers who are certified in special education and come alongside of the general education teachers to help our students succeed. Second, ICS offers a Life Skills program designed to meet the needs of students with cognitive impairments, Down Syndrome, Autism, and other mild to moderate disabilities. In the 2014-15 school year, there were 51 students receiving learning support in the elementary division and 26 students in the secondary division. We

had 5 learning support/life skills teachers on staff.

Learning Support

The ICS Counseling Department consists of four school counselors. Services include group or individual counseling, academic planning, transcript and student reports, and testing services.

Secondary counselors focus on preparing the students each year to explore areas of career interest and apply to college. Secondary counselors also facilitate parent workshops once a month, coordi-nate college representative visits and find ways to help students help themselves as learners. When students struggle emotionally and so-cially, counselors find ways to help students achieve health in these areas. Counselors also are involved with students proactively by be-ing involved with Senior Council, Student Ministries, facilitating in-terviewing workshops, leading career groups, and etc.

Elementary counseling takes a holistic and proactive approach to guiding students toward learning and developing life skills and ex-emplary behavior. The elementary counselor works alongside the elementary homeroom teachers to present regular classroom guid-ance lessons that focus on social and emotional development, as well as guidance in personal character development.

CS offers ROTC as an alternative for Thai students who don’t want to enlist

in the army. ICS offers this course, an opportunity to learn about military train-

ing, to both male and female students. The ROTC course is accredited under the

standards from the Thai Ministry of Education. The ROTC training takes place

over 10 weekends in which students learn about various topics such as first aid,

weapons and bombs, marching, orienteering and wilderness survival. Students

participate in ROTC for three years. After 10 weeks of initial training, 2nd and

the 3rd year students camp at Kaochonkai Camp for three days and five days.

cially their relationship with God. Student ministries seeks to provide opportuni-

ties for spiritual growth through interaction, instruction and personal reflection.

C a p s t o n e S e r v i c e P r o j e c t he CSP is a 2-year long project in which students choose a problem

they are passionate about trying to help solve. They research the problem,

complete at least 15 hours of community service trying to alleviate the prob-

lem, come up with solutions, write a 6-page research/reflection paper, and

finally present their final product to a panel of administrators, board mem-

bers, teachers, and parents. It was a great success last year! The project

served as further proof that our students are becoming lifelong learners,

quality producers, responsible citizens, and team players.

S A LT Tr i p s nderstanding the Biblical concept of serving along with Jesus’ model that

He came to serve and not to be served (Mark 10:45), Serving and Learning To-

gether or SALT projects give students educational and service opportunities that

are not readily available or conducive to the classroom. Every student from grades

6-12 participated in a SALT project. Trips involved helping clean up a Bangkok

slum area, helping deliver food to the elderly in a poor district, delivering lessons

on hygiene to young children in Pattaya, doing activities with children with dis-

abilities, teaching English in a rural school, painting a mural for a school, or build-

ing a church and library for a Karen Village.

Building houses gave me an opportunity to unite with my classmates. We were able to help each other. I would like to build houses

again also because it was such a great opportu-nity for me to serve others.

It was a once in a lifetime experience. l 11th grade student

Working on a team is more benefi-cial than working alone. One should think before making important decisions. It was

an overall amazing experience.
