Elementary
The elementary school at ICS Pyeongtaek is designed for our youngest students to build a strong foundation of knowledge, critical thinking skills, and leadership ability, and to discover their identity in Christ and the purpose God has for them. Our teachers impart a Christian worldview to their students through the way they manage their classroom, handle discipline, and build relationships with students, as well as by revealing how what students learn in their different subjects reveals who God is and how we can know Him more fully.
The elementary school is organized by grade level and has a maximum capacity of 15 students per class in Kindergarten and 20 students per class in 1st through 5th grade. Every class is taught by elementary school teachers with a valid teaching license.
In addition to having qualified and caring teachers, ICS also offers a personalized learning experience and uses a holistic approach. In each elementary class at ICS, teachers use differentiation to meet the needs of each individual student. In addition, ICSP focuses on various dimensions of a child as part of its holistic approach. For social development, ICS provides opportunities for students to learn how to develop healthy friendship skills, social values, and empathy. Also, starting in kindergarten, ICS teaches the importance of how play and proper rest are vital to the educational experience and actually allow kids to function better at their academic tasks. ICS considers how long students sit at their desks without moving along with how many breaks, recesses, and PE sessions students have in a day. ICS takes each of these important elements into consideration to help elementary students be successful.
