New Parents Reception

As the first weeks of school have passed by, IC gave a warm welcome to new IC parents at the Martin House reception hosted by President Joel Peinado and the Alumni and Advancement Office. We had the opportunity to meet and greet several enthusiastic parents, who were more than happy to share their thoughts and testimonials towards the choice they’ve made to enroll their children at IC.

Why did you choose IC?

How are your kids liking IC?

I chose IC because their system of education is always updated. And it’s good reputation. The social work in it, the students are always happy. It has flexibility plus level of education.

Obviously its one of the best schools in town. For the variety of the students and their backgrounds. The international concept that they adapt.

-Ghaida

I chose IC because I like the spirit IC gives. It’s different. Something that pushes the kid’s personalities. What it offers for them to build their personality as a whole, as a person. I think it’s very nice what they do. Plus I’ve never met an alumni from IC that’s not in love with his school. That’s why I love the school spirit actually.

-Samira Tahan

My son is loving IC. He integrated very well. And his classmates are amazing. The orientation and the surroundings in the school are really good. I’m really happy as a mother that my son, when he’s going to school he is happy and is coming back happy. My daughter is really so excited to be in IC. Every day she wakes up so excited, today we have school, oh yay! And when i say it’s Saturday or Sunday, she says oopsie! She’s really so excited. So I’m happy too.

What are you hoping to gain from your time at IC?

So much. We are hoping for so much. We want him to be happy. We want him to be safe. We want him to make friends. We want him to learn. Get the best academics. Also to be social, to explore. To be well connected. For him to enjoy the many years to come.

I am seeking to improve his personality here. I’m so concerned about this. I think that here at IC, they really work on the PYP system with up to date topics. This is very interesting for me. It gives them more awareness about everything, what’s happening around them. They are learning.

-Rouba Hammoud

Well for him, I hope that of course he gets a good education. He’s well surrounded by good people and he learns the important values. Kindness and honesty. The important things have nothing to do with the studying. That’s the main reason I enrolled him in IC. For me, I know that I will have my peace of mind with the right school and the right place.
