ICS Toronto is an independent graduate school of inter-disciplinary philosophy.

The Institute is also affiliated with the Toronto School of Theology of the University of Toronto, with whose courses ICS courses are cross-listed and students from the other institutions may, as may ICS Junior Members, matriculate across institutions-but with restrictions on how many credits for a degree a student may take from these approved external sources.

Another important affiliation of ICS Toronto is with the Association of Reformed Institutions of Higher Education in North America, where discussions and debates are ongoing on the merits of establishing a set of geographically distributed discipline-specialized graduate faculties across the continent, that together could constitute in a new way the earlier model of a Protestant Christian graduate-research university upon which vision ICS was originally founded.

A final affiliation must be mentioned in order to contextualize ICS Toronto in a worldwide movement for Christian higher education, where often a primary task is the fostering of teachers for the elementary and secondary levels-whereas ICS, while it includes a senior member of philosophy of education and a program for school teachers seeking graduate studies in Christian worldview, 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.

As part of its services to its broad circle of institutions to which it is affiliated and to the many individual inquirers who visit its website, ICS had developed over several years and maintains the Faith & Learning Network.

The ICS once proposed that the Quaternary be considered a sub-era ( sub-erathem ) of the Neogene, with a beginning date of 2. 588 Ma, namely the start of the Gelasian Stage.

Following formal discussions at the International Geological Congress, Oslo Norway, August 2008, the International Commission on Stratigraphy ( ICS ) decided in May 2009 to make the Quaternary the youngest period of the Cenozoic Era with its base at 2. 588 Mya and including the Gelasian age, which was formerly considered part of the Neogene Period and Pliocene Epoch.

It ended with the Ordovician – Silurian extinction event, about 443. 7 ± 1. 5 Mya ( ICS, 2004 ) that wiped out 60 % of marine genera.

Some programmers who had worked on the original ICS became unhappy with what they saw as the commoditization of their project.

This includes setting up Internet Connection Sharing ( ICS ) on a computer running Windows Me so the computer can share a connection to the Internet with other computers on the home network.

Unhappy with the commercialisation of ICS, which they saw as exploiting their work, a handful of programmers, led by Chris Petroff, formed FICS and gave users free, unrestricted access.

In 1992, ICS was authorized to grant a Master of Worldview Studies degree, a one-year program in large part to accommodate non-philosophers teaching in Christian elementary and secondary schools ; and in December 2004 ICS was given ministerial permission to grant PhD and MA in Philosophy degrees on its own standing before the Crown, without a necessary mediation through the Free University in Amsterdam.

ICS has recently been granted by the Province of Ontario the right to grant degrees fully on its own, both the Master of Arts in Philosophy ( a two year program ) and the Doctor of Philosophy in philosophy or the philosophical foundations of a specialist discipline within ICS's competence, in relation to the Free University in Amsterdam where to date the final oral examination for the published PhD is defended and graded.
