What the school says

"At ICS London, we strive to create a home from home for students. It’s a welcoming environment where the whole community comes together to shape students into well-rounded people. Our family of passionate and attentive teachers takes a personalised approach to learning, with small class sizes and individual support that nurtures and develops students.

"Building lessons around the specific needs of students has the advantage of identifying the potential and strengths of each student – and then creating the right environment for these talents to grow. Having strong relationships with their teachers gives students real, personalised support throughout their time at ICS London.

"We are a truly international school where diversity is celebrated, with more than 50 different nationalities represented each year. Our multicultural values combined with our international outlook give the school an open-minded perspective that welcomes diversity, encourages cultural connections, and brings rich international influences into our classrooms."

Curriculum

ICS London delivers a truly international and personalised education, combining the strength of the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework with a broad range of pathways to meet the individual needs and aspirations of every student. Catering for students aged 3 to 18, our curriculum balances academic challenge with support, wellbeing, creativity and a genuine love of learning.

In the Primary School, students follow the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), developing curiosity, independence and a love of inquiry. This is followed by the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), which encourages critical thinking and meaningful connections across subjects. In the senior years, students follow the IGCSE and the IB Diploma Programmes (IBDP), providing internationally
recognised pathways for further study and university.

Across the school, the IB Learner Profile and Approaches to Learning (ATL) develop essential skills including critical thinking, communication, research, self-management and collaboration. Combined with our personalised approach and diverse international community, these experiences equip students with the knowledge, confidence and global perspective to thrive in an ever-changing world.

What the parents say

"After living internationally for a couple of years, our children were missing the multicultural environment and experiential learning of the IB. ICS London offers a great community to learn in a diverse culture and excel in various areas.

"In ICS London, learning is experienced through a combination of academic subjects, co-curricular activities and application-based approaches. The staff and teachers support the students’ learning journey and guide them to take responsibility for their growth and development. They work with the students to balance academics and overall well-being through various activities. This made a lot of difference to our children’s learning."
