CLASS OF 2013

Sophia Lim

“God used ICS as a redemptive part of my education. I experienced teachers who genuinely cared about me for the first time as a high schooler. This environment reignited my love for learning and demonstrated that teachers could excel at their craft and have genuine compassion for their students' well-being and personal growth. It's what I strive to be as a teacher now and I do not take it for granted that I get to do it in the very place that sparked it all for me."

Jonathan Hane

“ICS instilled in me a deep appreciation for loving and respecting people from all walks of life—just as Jesus did. I am grateful for the rich, multicultural experience I had throughout middle and high school, where I formed lasting friendships and connected with individuals from around the world who came to study at ICS.

 My time there was profoundly formative and has had a lasting impact on my life. It continues to influence my work today as I travel and serve alongside diverse relief and humanitarian teams from across the globe. Jesus is at the center of it all, and I'm so thankful to ICS for teaching me that!”
