The Institute for Christian Studies (ICS) in Toronto, Ontario, is an independent graduate school of inter-disciplinary philosophy. At ICS Toronto, students and faculty take part in shared learning through participatory seminars, mentoring, and an inter-disciplinary approach to study. There are several unrelated institutions bearing the same name.
ICS is affiliated with the Free University (VU) in Amsterdam. Vrije Universiteit has co-sponsored and co-supervised some ICS doctoral degrees. The Institute is also affiliated with the Toronto School of Theology at the University of Toronto. The University of Toronto School of Theology allows students to take a certain number of credits towards their degree from external institutions, including the ICS. ICS students may also take some of their course work at the University of Toronto Department of Philosophy.
ICS Toronto is part of a worldwide movement for Christian higher education, where a primary task is often the fostering of teachers for the elementary and secondary levels. In the case of ICS, while it includes a senior member of philosophy of education, and a program for school teachers seeking graduate studies in Christian worldview, it places more emphasis on preparing Master's of Arts in Philosophy and PhD-level graduates to teach in colleges and universities, as well as in many other disciplines, or for entrance into a more activist profession. With its unique emphasis among English-based Christian programs of advanced studies, ICS Toronto is a dedicated affiliate of IAPCHE, the International Association for Promotion of Christian Higher Education (IAPCHE) worldwide. IAPCHE now consists of a grouping of five regional bodies in Africa, Asia/Oceania, Europe, Latin America, and North America.
