International Primary Curriculum (IPC)- The International Primary Curriculum (IPC) is used in over 93
countries around the world. The curriculum provides thematic units of study centered on enquiry-based learning. There are three types of Learning Goals- Subject based, Personal Goals and International Goals. Each of these areas contains opportunities to gain knowledge, develop skills and enrich understanding. This curriculum is delivered in all primary classes in addition to Singapore Math an Academy Stars English text books.
One of the main reasons that IPC has become one of the most widely used Primary curriculums in the world is its three-tiered approach that focuses upon 3 types of learning goals:
- Subject (Academic) Learning Goals
- Personal Learning Goals
- International Learning Goals
With its own Assessment for Learning Programme, the IPC provides immediate support for teachers and learners through its comprehensive design and rigor, whilst being flexible enough for each school to adapt the planning and build on their own strengths.
The IPC Process of Learning
The IPC has been designed for children of all abilities and all learning styles, and encourages learning in groups as well as individual learning and contributes to our goal of improving leaning for all students. The IPC has a clearly defined learning process which is repeated through each unit of learning.
Parent Involvement
The IPC actively encourages parent involvement and provides Primary schools with many opportunities throughout the year for parents and guardians to be invited to school and participate in their children’s learning.
Parental involvement is a key pillar of the International Primary Curriculum IPC
With the IPC children can develop the academic knowledge, skills, and understanding to prepare them for Secondary school and beyond whilst also developing the personal qualities and characteristics to help them flourish in our increasingly connected and dynamic world. In short, the IPC can unlock students’ imagination and transform their education.
