INTRODUCTION TO THE SCHOOL
Lusaka International Community School (LICS) is an international school situated in Roma, a quiet residential district in the Zambian capital. The school serves the international community seeking educational continuity with schools elsewhere in the world. LICS takes the CIE (University of Cambridge International Examinations) educational system as its base and provides a requisite range and variety of subjects in academic disciplines, as well as extra-curricular activities in cultural, creative and sporting areas. The LICS secondary school curriculum culminates in the International GCSE (see below). The Council of International Schools (www.cois.org) accredited LICS in July 2001 following an intensive process of evaluation. This accreditation ensures the quality of the programme the school offers. In 2010 LICS has to undergo the re-accreditation process.

HISTORY OF LICS
LICS was founded in 1993 by a group of parents who sought a school in Lusaka which offered an international curriculum, committed and talented teachers, small class sizes, individual attention for students and a nurturing environment where each child would have the confidence and opportunity to develop his/ her potential. The school has grown steadily and has realised and developed the original vision of its founders.

LICS IS THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL !
Many parents say they chose LICS because of the atmosphere they sensed amongst students and teachers when they visited for the first time. This community spirit is something of which we are proud. Life at LICS is very busy for everyone who becomes involved with the school; every week we hold events which complement the educational programme.
