Founding Director of Qatar Foundation's first STEM dedicated high school.

Presently the top HS in Washington State, ICS prides itself on a rigorous integrated program that intertwines Humanities, International Studies and Art through grades 6 -12. These interrelationships develop each student’s ability to think critically, assess thoughtfully, speak with authority and write superbly. More than 45 different nationalities are represented in our student body and our parent community volunteer up to 30 hours per year to enrich our curriculum. The result is a vibrant, culturally rich, highly engaging learning environment that blends the very best models of learning found in public and private schools: demanding content, engaging learning activities, yearly organized world travel, foreign exchanges and this, our Mission:The International Community School cultivates integrity, curiosity, complex reasoning, problem solving, and global awareness in every student with a rigorous, signature program of arts and sciences.
