Delivering a powerful continuum of child-centric learning for ages 0 to 12
The IPC curriculum and platform is designed to develop well-rounded individuals who can respond to today's challenges with curiosity, confidence, and compassion.
For over a decade, our programmes have provided a solid, research-backed framework and the flexibility to tailor children's education according to their culture and context. IPC enables teachers to develop resilient, self-motivated young people who have the knowledge, skills, and sense of purpose they need to thrive.
Peter de Beer
Founder & Executive Director
Coming from a family of international school owners, I saw a huge gap in early childhood education and founded IPC in 2008 as the first international early childhood curriculum. A school needs more than a curriculum, so we added training, software, and business tools, at a fraction of the cost of providers who rely on conferences, expensive training, and franchises that take most of your profits. Educators now use IPC in 98 countries.
LinkedInWhat it means to be an IPC school
IPC schools place children at the centre of every decision. Our educators use research-backed methods across seven developmental domains, ensuring each child's cognitive, social, emotional, physical, creative, linguistic, and cultural growth is nurtured from the earliest years.
