Spotlight on Project-Based Learning
Elementary Education
We center on nurturing the heart of each child.
With a focus on harmony, confidence, communication, and awareness alongside academic excellence, our program fosters not only academic growth but also emotional and spiritual well-being.
We offer dynamic, holistic, and inclusive education that:
Emphasizes hands-on learning, where students engage with concepts that have real-world applications, giving them a strong foundation for future interests.
Encourages students to dive into projects that matter to them through Project-Based Learning. These student-centered open-ended projects foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving—all essential skills for life.
Develops leadership by modeling and guiding students to lead with compassion and a sense of responsibility to others. Through classroom roles, peer mentorship, and school-wide initiatives, students practice leading in ways that reflect Islamic values.
Promotes meaningful community engagement, connecting students with both local and global communities to understand diverse perspectives and take purposeful action in the world around them.
Integrates information technology as a tool for creativity, collaboration, and responsible digital citizenship, helping students to navigate and shape their world with confidence and care.
Offers interdisciplinary courses of study that weave together the sciences, humanities, arts, and Islamic studies, allowing students to explore connections across fields and develop a holistic understanding of the world and their role within it.
Extends learning beyond the classroom, through nature-based experiences, field trips, service projects, and visits from community members, ensuring that education remains rooted in the real world and responsive to the child’s evolving questions and interests.
Stresses the importance of world and human connections. Through fostering imagination, investigation, and innovation, students learn to view the world as an interconnected system, cultivating a sense of belonging and purpose in relation to their communities and the wider world.
Celebrates diversity in learning styles, abilities, and backgrounds—creating an environment free of attitudinal, structural, and societal barriers to inclusion, where each child can thrive and contribute meaningfully to the school community.
At ICC School, learning isn’t confined to worksheets or textbooks—it begins with a question, a spark of curiosity, and the space to imagine what’s possible. This spring, our first-grade class set out on a learning journey that began with a simple but powerful invitation: “What would you like to create at school if you could do anything?”
