Project Description
The International Community School and Community Elementary School replaced the existing ICS and CES buildings, combining both schools into a single building. The ICS houses 7th through 12th grade students, while CES hosts 3 multi-age classes of 1st through 6th grade students. The basis of both establishments involves high involvement in the community and family members in the education of the students; the building is designed with many open areas to accommodate this type of learning.
