Rev. Joe Hale founded Liberty Christian School in 1983. The school was initially founded to meet the needs of several missionary families in the Uijeongbu area. Because of the number of “non-command-sponsored” military children in the area, the school was expanded to include students in Kindergarten through grade twelve. In 1988 a branch school was started in Tongduchon to meet the needs of the students in the Warrior country. In 1990 an elementary school was started in the Namsan area of Seoul, including a branch in Songtan.

International Christian Schools were accepted as a candidate for accreditation in 1988. After an extensive self-study, an accrediting team from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges visited the schools in April 1991. The school received a full six-year accreditation in June 1991. A dual ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International) WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) self-study was completed during the 1996-1997 school year and again during the 2002-2003 school year. ICS-Uijeongbu is fully accredited until 2009 at which time the school will undergo another complete self-study for continuing accreditation. In addition, ICS-UJB has obtained a third accreditation from CITA, (Commission on International and Transregional Accreditation). Thus, ICS-UJB holds three accreditation certifications.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of International Christian School is to provide an education which will enable the student to be a productive, responsible citizen with a positive worldview. Education, being the pursuit of truth, is provided in the context that Jesus Christ is the absolute truth.

DOCTRINAL STATEMENT

ÄICS-UJB believes the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith, life and conduct.

ÄWe believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

ÄWe believe that Jesus Christ, without any change in His eternal deity, became man through conception of the Holy Spirit and virgin birth, that He died on the cross, a perfect and complete sacrifice, in our stead and for our sins according to the Scriptures. He arose bodily from the dead and ascended into heaven where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate.

ÄWe believe the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and, during this age, to convict of sin and regenerate the sinner upon belief in Christ; at the time of regeneration baptizing the believer into the one body of which Christ is the head; and to indwell, guide, instruct, fill, and empower the believer for Godly living and sacrifice.

ÄWe believe that man was directly created by God in His own image, but fell into sin. The entire human race is, therefore, lost and only through repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and regeneration of the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained.

ÄWe believe the atoning death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground of justification and salvation for all who believe, and that only such as receive Jesus Christ by personal faith are born of the Holy Spirit and by Him are sealed to the day of redemption.

ÄWe believe in the personal, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the hope of His appearing has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer.

ÄWe believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting and conscious punishment.

ÄWe believe the Church is composed of all persons who, through the saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ, of which He is the head.

ÄWe believe that water baptism (immersion) and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during this present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as a means of salvation.

ÄWe believe all saved should live in such a manner as will honor and glorify and not bring reproach upon their Savior and Lord, and that it is commanded of God to remain separate from false doctrine, sinful pleasure, practices and associations.

ADMISSIONS

ICS-UJB does not discriminate against students on the basis of national, ethnic, or racial origin. The school respects the religious preferences of parents and students; however, all classroom instruction is in the context of the stated doctrinal position of the school. The school maintains the right to refuse admission to students not meeting the school’s academic requirements or to students displaying a lack of willingness to meet the school’s code of conduct.

ICS-UJB is registered with the Korean government as a foreign school. All students enrolling at International Christian School will be assigned to a classroom after consultation with parent(s). Any grade placement prior to receipt of school records is tentative.

All students not submitting test scores of recent standardized achievement tests may be required to take a school-administered achievement test.

All classes have a limited enrollment. Qualified students will be accepted based upon the order of their registration in conjunction with the student’s academic achievement. Returning students are given preference in enrollment up to a given date. When the limit of enrollment of the class has been reached, qualified students will be placed on a waiting list.

Kindergarten for 5-year olds is offered. Children enrolling in the K-5 program must be five years of age before October 1 of the same year. We reserve the right to deny admission based on social and emotional maturity.

Students entering first grade must be 6 years of age before October 1 of the year enrolled. To enter first grade, a student must clearly demonstrate readiness skills for learning to read. Students will be tested to determine placement in first grade.

Students having difficulty with the English language may be placed in the ESL program, (English as a Second Language). The level of ESL placement will be determined by the placement tests. There is an extra charge assessed for ESL. This fee is dependent upon the degree to which the student is proficient in English.

ICS is not a boarding school. No student may attend International Christian School without a responsible guardian living with the student. The school must be notified and approval granted for the arrangement of any designated guardian that is not a parent before the student will be accepted at ICS. Any student violating this policy will suffer disciplinary action and possible expulsion from the school.

Every student is on probation for the first nine weeks the student is in school.

FINANCIAL AGREEMENT

International Christian School is dependent upon school fees for their operation.

REGISTRATION/ANNUAL FEES

A registration/annual fee is required to ensure the acceptance or re-enrollment of the student and is due with the application. This fee is non-refundable.

OTHER FEES

For a list of other fees, please see the insert for the school year your child will be attending. A statement of fees and other charges will be issued at the time of registration.

TUITION SCHEDULE

Payments are calculated in Korean won. American dollars in cash or checks made out to International Christian School will be accepted at the bank exchange rate for the day. Attendance up to ten school days in any given month is considered half of the month’s tuition. If a student is enrolled in school more than ten days in any given month, it is considered as a full month and all monthly tuition is due.

Accounts more than thirty days delinquent may result in suspension of the student until suitable arrangements have been made to bring the account current. Report cards and transcripts will not be released until the account is made current. It is the responsibility of the parent to make arrangements when bills are not paid. An employer or military commander may be notified when accounts remain delinquent more than thirty days.
