On behalf of management, teachers and staff, I want to welcome you to IPEKA INTEGRATED Christian School (IICS). All of us at IICS welcome the opportunities to partner with you - parents - to educate and train your children to be the next generation of influential leaders in Indonesia.
At IICS, we believe the Bible is true and that we have a vital responsibility to help children discover and develop their God-given talents and gifts. With the ever changing global environment, these young minds need trainings to think Critically and Creatively, Communicate effectively, and Collaborate with others from different background. Strong foundations in reading, writing, mathematics, and other core subjects are still as important as ever, yet by themselves are insufficient for lifelong success. The above 4 Cs are called the 21st Century Learning Skills and as a commitment from IICS, we augment it with the next C, which is Christian Worldview.
IICS strives to equip our students through robust academic curriculum, while adding the fun through the many activities we integrate such as: Vacation Bible School, Retreats, Camping, Leadership Camp, Field Trips, Immersion Programs, Social Activity and many more. Each division also offers an array of weekly extracurricular activities, thus inducing ‘Fun Learning.’
Furthermore, the saying “It takes a village to raise a child,” holds true when it comes to educating these young minds. We are part of that village as well as parents. Deutronomy 6:7 instructs us to consistently communicate with our children whenever and wherever we are. Hence, we gladly encourage parents to partner with us in developing Christlike character in our students. Together, we need to work together to see God’s design, plan and purpose fulfilled in each of our students’ lives.
