What is the “English Only” Policy?
The “English Only” policy helps everyone at ICC improve their English.
While you are at school and on school activities or events you will speak English and ONLY English. Writing, reading, speaking or listening to other languages are not permitted in school or at school activities and events.

Inside your student mailbox folder is an “English Only Violations” form.
- When students speak a language other than English at ICC, or at ICC activities or events, a violation will be noted on the violation form.
- A $5 fine will be deducted from the $25 English Only deposit for each violation.
- Those two receive 5 violations you will be required to make another $25 cash deposit.
- Unused balances of the English Only deposit will are refunded on a student’s last day. The fines that are paid go toward student activities.
