Our International Primary Curriculum (IPC) supports the holistic development of learners with enjoyable, relevant, and rigorous learning, that prepares them to be globally competent, socially conscious, and motivated individuals that positively contribute to the world they live in.

Designed to be engaging for primary-aged learners, the IPC embraces the transformative nature of learning with the goal of improving learning for all.

A global learning focus

The IPC encompasses Academic and Personal Learning, which supports students to flourish both inside and outside of the classroom, while its interconnected, global learning focus helps students build an understanding of people from other parts of the world.

Its learner-focused, progressive pedagogy has been developed based on current neuroscientific understandings. It enables students to make connections between the classroom, prior learning, and life experiences with a focus on metacognition, encouraging students to reflect deeply on each stage of their learning journeys.

Implementing the IPC in our school helps us break boundaries and teach children to see beyond the walls of the school, making a stronger link between what they learn and real-life situations.

Wesley Possible

Boothferry Primary School, UK

The IPC is an integral and valued part of the learning experience for our students. We aspire for the children to leave our school feeling knowledgeable about the world and empowered to make a difference, and the IPC supports us with that. The units of learning provide wonderful opportunities for our students to engage in local communities, gain a greater understanding of current issues, and deepen their curiosity about the world around them.

Caroline Gordon

Learning through the IPC is always exciting, engaging and challenging, and involves the whole school community. The Personal Goals taught through the IPC are the core of our schools’ vision and mission as they inspire our learners to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.
