International College - IC

It didn’t feel like an ending… until it did. 💚
One moment they were walking through these gates like any other day and the next, every step felt like a goodbye they weren’t ready for.
Hands a little tighter.
Hugs a little longer.
Eyes trying to hold on to everything at once.
Nothing about leaving IC felt simple, because nothing about IC ever was.
Some places you leave.
Some places you carry with you.
So long IC Class of 2026, God speed!

From Miami to Los Angeles, the Bay Area to Washington, D.C. IC alumni, this one’s for you.
Join us this May as we reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate the IC spirit across the US.

From our halls to the world beyond.
Our alumni carry their IC experience into every path they choose.

في عيد العمّال، نوجّه تحية امتنان لكل العاملين في الIC،
لمن يصنعون الفرق بصمت، ويتركون أثرهم في كل زاوية من هذا المكان.
شكرًا لجهودكم التي نراها ونعتز بها كل يوم،
وكل عام وأنتم قلب IC النابض.

Every journey has a starting point.
For our alumni, it began at IC.
Here’s where Imad is now.

The last bell didn’t just end a school day… it closed a chapter they’ll carry forever.
Hallways that once echoed with laughter now hold their memories. Every corner, every classroom, every goodbye feels heavier than expected.
They came in as students… they leave as stories, as friendships, as moments that will never be repeated the same way again.
This isn’t just a goodbye to a place, it’s a goodbye to a version of you.
And somehow, that’s the hardest part.
We asked them, “What is IC to you?” and every answer said the same thing in a different way: home, family, memories.
Once IB II at IC always family. 💙

Laughter fills the hallways again, friendships pick up right where they left off, and every classroom feels a little brighter. Together, on the benches, under the sun, in every shared moment, we’re reminded that school is more than a place, it’s a feeling. And we’ve missed it.

As Easter reminds us of renewal and new beginnings, we wish the IC community a season filled with hope, peace, and resilience.
May this time bring a sense of calm, renewed optimism, and meaningful moments for us all.

Even in uncertain times, our students shine with resilience, creativity, and purpose, whether in the classroom, through chess, debate, drama, MUN, art, or leading projects like COP30.
We celebrate their dedication, our bully-free recognition, and the vibrant spirit that keeps IC connected.

As the crisis in Lebanon continues, many families have been displaced and are facing immense hardship. In keeping with IC’s long-standing commitment to empathy and responsibility, IC leadership, together with the IC Responsibility Unit (AGC, CAS, CCSL) and the Outreach Program within the ERC, launched a school-wide relief initiative to support displaced families. The initiative will mobilize the IC community and its resources, as part of our continued commitment to responsible civic engagement in times of crisis.
