Last October, the DeKalb County School System approved a letter of intent from the ICS to relocate to the Medlock Elementary building.


A few months back, the DecaturMetro blog shared an email sent by the ICS school principal that outlines some of the history behind that decision.



MANA has just received the following enrollment information [March 9] and open house [Feb 4] announcement:

The International Community School (ICS), a tuition-free, public charter school, is accepting applications for the 2012-13 academic year.

Enrollment is awarded by lottery. ICS is accepting lottery applications for Kindergarten through 5th grade. The application is on the Admissions page of the ICS website and is available at: http://www.icsgeorgia.org/downloads/admissions/ICS-Application-201213.pdf
