 In 2002 the local school board of International Community School decided that ICS should become independent of NICS in favor of self- governance.ICS enrollment consistently increased, outgrowing the leased facility despite several on-site building projects.The ICS Educational Foundation Board, with the cooperation of the families of ICS, purchased the current 16.2 rai (7.4 acres) of land in Bang Na and began building in 2003. International Community School opened the Bang Na campus in September 2004 with nearly 500 students in four year-old kindergarten through twelfth grade.
