The on-going housing developments by the public and private sectors resulted in an increasing demand for schools. Consequently, the situation called for an educational institution that's both accessible and affordable to pre-school, elementary and high school students.
International Christian School was initially conceived in January 1993 by the late Engr. Jose "Pepe" T. Espino. His primary goal was to offer quality education in the Novaliches area. In September of 1993, his plan started to materialise with the help of Mrs. Teresita M. Trinidad, an elementary school principal and educator.
Three locations for the school were considered. Ultimately, the General Luis location was favored. Apart from severe time constraints, the location was the most ideal. Furthermore, the area's size surpass the requirements mandated by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS), now known as the Department of Education (DepEd).
International Christian School was built on a 4.300 square meter lot. By 1994, it was ready to house pre-elementary, elementary and high school students. The school made history in terms of enrollment during its first year of operation through its programs in both academic and co-curricular activities.
In the middle of our school seal is a torch. It represents our school as a source of light that guides students towards leadership and moral values.
At the right of the torch is a half open book, symbolizing the knowledge and wisdom of the world. The dove at the left side embodies the Holy Ghost - our profound reference for the divine source of grace and life.
The laurel leaves on both sides represent excellence, which has become the school motto.
