2023 ICGS Conference


2023 ICGS Conference
Hilton Cleveland Downtown
Cleveland, Ohio
United States

A hallmark of ICGS schools—and the students we serve—is to celebrate innovation and appreciate the limitless opportunities the future holds. We are infinitely more intrigued by the question “What’s next?” than we are by the idea of “What now?”

At no point in our history will this mindset serve us better. As we come out of the global pandemic, we are poised to reflect on the lessons learned since early 2020 and look at education in a whole new way. It is time to REthink how our schools can best prepare girls to be the leaders and changemakers the world needs. Conference delegates will explore questions such as:

  • What programs, processes, and structures—across all areas of a school, from admissions to curriculum to governance and beyond—continue to serve us well?
  • What can be repurposed or reimagined—and what might need to be retired altogether?
  • How can we invite our students into this process to help co-create learning environments that address girls’ intellectual and social-emotional needs?

There is no doubt this will be exciting, powerful, and deeply valuable work. But it will also take energy and creativity that has been seriously depleted in the dedicated educators and leaders who make our schools tick. So it is also time to REcharge and REengage with others who share your commitment to the young people you serve. The ICGS Conference will be full of opportunities to practice self-care, be in community with others, and experience joy.

Join us on the shores of great Lake Erie in the vibrant city of Cleveland June 26-28 as we celebrate our global community of schools.
