Spotlight on Project-Based Learning
Middle School
We offer a well-rounded education that supports not just academic excellence, but also students’ emotional, social, and spiritual growth.
Through dynamic, inclusive, and holistic approaches to education, our teachers support students to become confident, responsible, and life-long thinkers. Islamic values are thoughtfully woven into every aspect of learning, fostering a strong sense of identity, purpose, and integrity.
We offer dynamic, holistic, and inclusive education that:
Engages Middle School students in hands-on, real-world learning that brings academic concepts to life. Through meaningful, student-driven projects, they explore complex questions, solve real problems, and take ownership of their learning. This approach fosters critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication—while building a strong foundation for research and innovation—preparing students with the skills and confidence needed for high school and beyond.
Practices leadership with compassion and responsibility. By engaging in classroom roles, peer mentorship, and school-wide initiatives, students lead in ways that reflect Islamic values and a commitment to others.
Engages with communities near and far. Students connect with local and global communities to explore diverse perspectives and participate in meaningful, purposeful action.
Integrates technology with purpose. Students design, code, present, and problem-solve using digital tools while developing responsible digital citizenship and confidence in a connected world.
Promotes Interdisciplinary Understanding. Our courses blend science, humanities, the arts, and Islamic studies to foster a holistic understanding of knowledge and the interconnectedness of the world.
Extends learning beyond the classroom. Through nature-based learning, field trips, service projects, and visits from community members, students experience education as active and connected to real life.
Fosters global and human connections. Help students see the world as an interconnected whole—cultivating belonging, identity, and purpose.
Builds an inclusive learning environment. We celebrate differences in learning styles, abilities, and backgrounds, removing any attitudinal, structural, and societal barriers and ensuring each student is supported to thrive and contribute meaningfully.

Student Voices on History!
At ICC School, middle school students don’t just study history—they bring it to life. As part of our commitment to dynamic, inquiry-driven learning, our middle school historians recently completed a powerful project: a student-produced podcast exploring one of the most significant questions in American history: “What were the differences between the North and South before the Civil War?”
