ICS K12 Schools: Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow
Our Vision
At ICS K12 Schools, our goal is to nurture individuals who are equipped both academically and socially, sensitive to different cultures, creative, capable of critical thinking, and focused on lifelong learning by providing a world-class education. Our aim is not only to help students discover their individual potential but also to prepare them for life as global leaders and citizens.
Our Mission
ICS K12 Schools aims to meet each student's individual learning needs within a multicultural learning environment, based on international education standards. We prioritize academic success and ethical values while raising responsible individuals who contribute to the global society.
International Curriculum and Academic Programs
At ICS Schools, we prepare our students for global success by offering a strong foundation in English education from an early age. The Oxford International Curriculum (OIC), implemented in our school, addresses academic and social-emotional development in a balanced way, equipping students with 21st-century skills. English is the sole language of instruction and communication. Our multicultural learning environment, enriched by students from various countries, provides an international perspective and makes language development a natural process.
We are proud to be the first and only school across Europe and Asia to implement the Maple Leaf World School Program (MLWSP). This program grants our students the Canadian High School Diploma, giving them direct admission advantages to prestigious universities worldwide. MLWSP is accredited by Cognia and evaluated as compatible with international standards by Ecctis. In 2024, over 800 MLWSP graduates received 4,233 admission offers from 171 universities across 14 different countries, with 87% gaining acceptance into universities ranked in the QS World Top 100. We are honored to offer this opportunity to our students.

We offer programs supported by professional trainers to help students discover their talents and grow in these areas.
