Academic Programs
General Education Coures
We offer general education courses that are open to all the students who study at IC, in order to give them a balanced and complete education. It has been our aim and tradition to give our students a good English education. Since we are now living in a world where many cultures mix, we are trying to provide our students with an even better education by including various languages and exchange programs. Health and sports courses help students learn how to take care of their bodies as well as give them practical exercise. Students can hone their basic computer knowledge and skills in computer courses. The phrase "Life Together" has been used the past few years to express our school's basic spirit of mutual assistance. We seek to develop this spirit through a required Introduction of Christian Thought and Culture course. We believe that individuals can enrich their minds and lives through the careful study of Christian approaches to life and death.
