Our Curriculum

At IPS we offer the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for 3-12 year-olds. The PYP is an inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework, which focuses on the whole child as an inquirer. The PYP nurtures academic, social and emotional wellbeing alongside independent learning skills in order to foster agency. This internationally-designed model underpins our practices with the intent of creating internationally-minded citizens.
