A Welcome from the Head of School

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Istanbul International Community School (IICS) and invite you to discover more about our vibrant and diverse community.

With more than 450 students representing over 70 nationalities across our Marmara and Hisar campuses, IICS is a truly international school. We are proud to create an environment where students are encouraged to explore, question, create and grow, both academically and personally. Our vision is to be an exceptional, forward-thinking international school in every respect, and we are committed to making this vision a reality every day.

For prospective families, IICS offers an education built on high expectations, meaningful relationships and a genuine commitment to educational excellence. We provide a wide range of learning experiences that enable students to develop their knowledge, skills, character, talents and passions, while becoming confident, compassionate and internationally minded young people. We encourage you to explore our Admissions and Vision & Values sections to learn more about what makes IICS special.

For prospective faculty and staff, IICS is a place where educators can learn, collaborate and make a meaningful difference. We are fortunate to work in an environment that values professional growth, innovation and a shared commitment to student learning. Together, we continue to shape an inspiring and engaging educational experience for our students and our wider community. Please visit our Employment at IICS section to discover current opportunities.

For our current IICS community, we hope this website continues to be a useful and engaging source of information. Alongside our website, we invite you to stay connected through our weekly Friday Flash, social media and other communication channels.

Across both our Marmara and Hisar campuses, our aim is to provide a caring and inclusive environment where every student feels known, valued and inspired to excel. We want our students to leave IICS as curious, creative, compassionate, balanced and internationally minded individuals, ready to make a positive difference in the world.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about IICS. We hope you enjoy exploring our website and discovering what makes our school such a special place to learn, work and belong.
