Director's Welcome

Welcome to ICSA

 

"It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the International Community School of Abidjan!"

Our school’s mission, “Learning and Leading in a Collaborative Culture,” reflects our commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where all students can thrive. At the heart of our educational philosophy is the belief that every student has the potential to succeed, and our role as educators is to provide the necessary resources and guidance to help them reach their full potential.

As a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP), alongside our established Diploma Programme (DP), we are dedicated to the International Baccalaureate’s mission statement: “These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.” This mission aligns with our commitment to promoting international-mindedness that celebrates diversity, respects different cultures and perspectives, and fosters a sense of empathy and compassion in our students.

The IB framework places student learning at the center by emphasizing inquiry-based education, critical thinking, and real-world application. Our teachers are dedicated to creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, pursue their passions, and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Through the PYP and MYP, we aim to build a strong foundation of skills and knowledge that will empower our students to succeed in the DP and beyond.

We welcome you to explore our website to learn more about our incredible school community and our journey toward becoming a full IB World School!

 

Sincerely,
ICSA Director, Michael Breece
