ICCFS Mission Statement

Design training and practice-experiences to assist students in developing essential analytical and oratorical skills needed to become character-driven communicators and extraordinary leaders who impact culture.

This is accomplished by:

• establishing mentoring communities to further develop ordinary students as extraordinary leaders.
• implementing and maintaining safe practice environments for school-aged students 
• designing events that correlate to ICC curriculum to provide additional coaching and practicing before presentations are taken into the community.
• creating practice opportunities to develop and refine real-world skills.
• providing motivation through a competitive structure that ties recognition and rewards to ICC curriculum.

What People Are Saying

"The highlight for me was observing the Speech-Story Adaptation. l was blown away by the standard and abilities of these talented teenagers. I was captivated by their outstanding works, their abilities to creatively modernise a literally work, retelling it in our Singaporean context...and most of all, delivering a relevant message for a contemporary audience in the limited time given. They were all so brilliant!"
