Year 3 students from the The Grange Institution and International Preschool​ recently completed a Design Challenge

The primary curriculum encourages learners to be globally competent, socially conscious and motivated to positively contribute within a local and/or global context, something that has become increasingly essential over the last few years especially during this historic moment in time.

We would like to invite all our global community to host their own IPC 21st birthday party wherever you are in the world!

My first introduction to the IPC came in 2002, so not quite twenty years ago, when I was the Principal of Berlin International School. I had recently returned to Europe from living and working in New Zealand, where I had undertaken studies at the University of Auckland into something called, “Infolink”, looking at ways to create an enquiring mind in young children and improve learning.

Razum International School is a primary school in Singapore, which opened in August of 2019. As the school was a start-up and the staff were all new to IPC, this was a challenge, that I can confidently say we have overcome. Over the past 2 years, we have learnt so much about IPC.

​World leaders could certainly learn a thing or two from listening to the suggestions of children in solving world problems! Not only did our first global summit demonstrate this – it flagged up many other surprise benefits.
