Our Upper School Program is fully departmentalized and offers a complete college-preparatory curriculum, with several Advanced Placement (AP) courses available. Students are challenged to think critically and creatively through both individual and collaborative group work. They actively engage with topics from a biblical worldview, while gaining appreciation for multiple perspectives. We are committed to preparing students for life and work in the 21st century.
At ICSB, our Upper School academic program is designed to provide students with a well-rounded, university-preparatory education with a biblical worldview.
Each year, students engage in a balanced course load across core subjects—including English, mathematics, science, social studies, and Christian studies—along with opportunities to explore fine arts, physical education, foreign languages, and other electives.
Our curriculum and course offerings are thoughtfully structured to support student growth, challenge critical thinking, equip students to meet the graduation requirements and prepare them to succeed in life beyond graduation.
At ICSB, some core courses—specifically in science, social studies, and English—follow a two-year rotation. This means that the specific courses offered in these subjects vary depending on whether the school year begins in an odd-numbered year or an even-numbered year.
For example:
This rotation allows us to offer a broader range of courses while maintaining small class sizes and scheduling flexibility. Over the course of two years, students will complete all the required core courses, regardless of which year they start high school.The rotation is carefully designed to ensure that all students complete a full sequence of science, social studies, and English, as well as other yearly repeated courses by graduation.
