ICS is led by global thought leaders in education. The head of school, Dr. Timothy Stuart, is one of the most prominent leaders in Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and personalized learning. ICS Addis has started a PLC journey of personalizing learning in which all students learn at high levels while their individual needs are met professionally. With this, the school hosted the first ever PLC at Work® institute in Africa organized by Solution Tree in October 2018. The event was held for three days (11-13 October 2018) and brought educators and global leaders in education like Dr. Anthony Muhammad and Tom Schimmer.
