Saturday School
The family literacy program Saturday School is a pioneering initiative of the Friends of International Community School, the foundation organization of International Community School (ICS) for refugee, immigrant and local children.
Founded in 2004, Saturday School is designed to address the basic literacy needs of teenagers, parents and grandparents whose education has been interrupted by war.
For the school year 2007-2008, we have five classes: adult women, teenage girls, teenage boys, girls 10—12 and children 5—10.
Our staff includes five certified teachers and a large group of volunteer tutors.
Our students are from Afghanistan, Burma, El Salvador, Iraq, Liberia, Russia, Sudan and Somalia.
