Scroll down to find practical information, important school documents, and events to look forward to at the beginning of the school year. 

Making friends at ICSV is something I think is truly special because you get to see so many different people from so many cool, different places, and seeing them all in one place like this is a true privilege that I get to have.

What to bring for Orientation

Two (2) photos for School IDs. If you have not provided these yet, please bring two passport-sized photos of your child to the Orientation for your child’s school ID and student file. This will allow us to prepare the ID in advance. If this is not possible, you are welcome to bring the photos on the first day of school and drop them off at the school reception.

Elementary School

Elementary Orientation is for all new and returning students in Primary through Grade 5. Students get to meet their homeroom teachers, see their new classrooms, and meet friends before the first day of school. Families have the opportunity to meet the Elementary Principal and find information about registering for our Lunch Program, After School Care Program, and After School Clubs. Students will receive their school IDs and get information about purchasing transportation tickets. 

Secondary School

Secondary Orientation is for all new students in Grades 6-12. Students will be given their schedules to familiarize themselves with the school building and meet teachers. Orientation is designed to help students in Grades 6 and 9 transition into middle school/high school and get familiar with their new classroom and locker areas. Student Ambassadors will be available to guide families around the school building and answer any questions they may have.

It’s natural to have first-day-of-school jitters and nerves. To help you best prepare, it’s recommended that you prepare the supply list items and tech requirements (Grades 6-12) by the first week of school. On your first day of school, you’ll be welcomed by the Admissions Team and friendly faces who can help you get your way around.

Lunch Program 

At ICSV, we believe in fostering a sense of community. Lunchtime is a shared mealtime experience for students to interact and socialize with their peers.

Students can bring a packed lunch from home or participate in the ICSV Lunch Program. The Program offers a small or large three-course warm meal or sandwich option. Through the cashless lunch card system, families can purchase lunch by loading money onto the card or registering for the Everyday Lunch Program.

• Three-course Menu (meat or vegetarian option) – Small Portion (€6,50), Regular Portion (€7,70)
• Sandwich – €3,50

Everyday Lunch – Students can enjoy a daily lunch without needing to load their lunch card. Instead, parents will receive an invoice for this program.

• Elementary Small – €1.131,00
• Elementary Regular – €1.340,00
• Secondary Small – €1.040,00
• Secondary Regular – €1.232,00

Course Description

The best way to get to know a school is by joining various activities. From sports to after-school clubs and musicals, there are many opportunities to get to know teachers and make friends from different grades. As a school, we encourage students to participate in extracurricular activities. We believe they foster meaningful connections between students and teachers, allowing for effective learning in the classroom.

Secondary Extracurricular Activities

Secondary Athletics 

Your involvement in your child’s learning can contribute to their academic success. The level and frequency of parent-teacher communication will depend on the child’s learning progress, grade level, and teacher. Additionally, Parent-Teacher Conferences take place at least once a year in the Fall.

As an ICSV parent, you will have access to PowerSchool to check in on your child’s attendance, classwork, and grade progress. We use Google Classroom to share course resources, assignments, and deadlines with secondary students. Families are also informed about classroom activities and upcoming events through our weekly Eagle newsletter.

Information about accessing your PowerSchool and Google Classroom accounts will be available during New Student Orientation.
