Hear From Our Teachers

“I was born and raised on Vancouver Island & educated in the Island Catholic School System. Though I have traveled in Canada and to many other countries, I can’t imagine myself living or working anywhere else. ICS is a welcoming, caring and supportive community. I was inspired as a child by my teachers and hope I am making a difference now in the lives of my students. My passion is inclusive education and at ICS we build in love and include all.”
