The approach seeks to develop bilingual, interculturally competent, high-achieving students. The school serves more than 800 students from across Philadelphia through an annual blind lottery and relies on a diverse faculty with international backgrounds. Founded in 2001 by parents and community members, ICS maintains strong community ties, and in 2021 added a new member to its board of trustees.
