ICS Recognized Among Singapore’s Top American Curriculum Schools

We are delighted to share that International Community School (Singapore) has been recognized in the inaugural Little Steps Singapore Education Awards 2026, receiving the Bronze Award for the American Curriculum School category as selected by an expert panel of international education leaders.

The Little Steps Education Awards celebrate outstanding international schools, preschools, and educational initiatives across Singapore. The American Curriculum School Award recognizes schools that stand out for the quality of their curriculum and overall educational offering.

For ICS, this recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects something we hope our families experience every day: an education that is academically strong, deeply personal, and focused on developing the whole child.

“We are grateful for this honor because it affirms the work our teachers do every day to provide an education that is both academically strong and deeply personal. At ICS, success is not simply about what students know, but about who they are becoming. We want our students to be challenged, known, and encouraged to use their gifts with purpose. That is at the heart of what it means to Learn Deeply, Live Purposefully, and Lead Boldly.”

— Mr. Darryl Harding, Head of School, International Community School (Singapore)

More Than a Curriculum

Our curriculum is more than the courses students take or the standards they meet.

At ICS, we want students to become curious thinkers who ask good questions, communicate confidently, solve problems creatively, and take increasing ownership of their learning. At the same time, we believe academic growth is strongest when students are known, supported, challenged, and surrounded by teachers who genuinely care about who they are becoming.

Our American curriculum provides students with a strong academic foundation while offering opportunities to explore their interests, discover their strengths, and prepare for what comes next, whether that journey leads them to universities in the United States, Singapore, or elsewhere around the world.

And because ICS is a Christian school, learning is connected to something even bigger. We want our students to understand that their knowledge, gifts, and abilities have purpose.

It is why we continue to challenge our students to Learn Deeply, Live Purposefully, and Lead Boldly.
