I love ICS. I have worked at 3 separate schools in Oakland (ICS included) and I have never felt more at home or content than I do at ICS. There is a reason why there is such low turn over in the staff at this school. There is a reason why families send their kids through our program and then recommend their friends and family to our school. ICS is truly a gem of Oakland.

I am thankful for UPA because there are very good teachers, a nice principal, and an excellent parent coordinator, Glendy Cordero, at the school. There is a free salad bar for the students, four days a week thanks to Glendy, Ana, and the parents that help. I am also thankful for the program that teaches parents to learn about computers. Now, we can comunicate in e-mail with the school and see the grades of our children, etc.

there is way too much drama and fights , the teachers are great . but .. they dont keep a good environment when you get back home .

Teachers are generally compassionate and demonstrate cultural sensitivity to the needs of all students. The linked learning program is moving in a positive direction and their tailored Newcomer program helps English language learners succeed. I'm encouraged to learn that their internship program has tripled over the last 3 years. There currently is a construction project on site, which includes a new 2 story building, updated on-site clinic and a new stadium/gym to replace their current 90yd football field. The project is expected to be complete by winter of 2020.
