Secondary School

Our Secondary School program is built to cultivate academic excellence, moral character, and future-readiness

At International Community College (ICC), our Secondary School program is built to cultivate academic excellence, moral character, and future-readiness in all students. Divided into two main stages—Lower Secondary (Years 7–9) and Upper Secondary (Years 10–12/13)—the program integrates the globally recognized Cambridge curriculum with hands-on career and technical education (CTE), STEAM programs, and Christian values.

LOWER SECONDARY (Years 7–9): Foundation and Exploration

Lower Secondary forms the critical foundation of academic and personal development. Through a diverse and inquiry-based curriculum, students gain exposure to both traditional academic subjects and emerging technological fields. Our goal is to ignite curiosity and identify individual talents and career interests early.

Core Subjects:

Mathematics: Foundational skills, problem-solving, and logic
English Language: Grammar, composition, literature, oral communication
Science: General science including biology, chemistry, and physics
Technology & Innovation: Digital tools, design thinking, hands-on projects
Coding: Scratch, Python fundamentals, logic-building
Automotive Engineering (Intro): Safety, systems, and tools
Robotics: Electronics, sensors, simple builds
Ethics & Christian Values: Moral development, leadership, empathy

Facilities & Learning Spaces: Students benefit from modern STEAM labs, robotics and coding studios, and well-equipped science labs. Experiential learning is emphasized through projects, presentations, and digital simulations.

UPPER SECONDARY (Years 10–12/13): Specialization and Exam Preparation

In Upper Secondary, students specialize based on personal interests and career goals. The curriculum is aligned with Cambridge IGCSE and A Level qualifications, with tailored subject selection guided by an academic advisor. ICC offers strong pathways into AI, engineering, robotics, business, health sciences, and computer science.
