An International Curriculum

The International Primary Curriculum is a challenging, new curriculum for national and international schools around the world. Focused explicitly on developing children’s learning, its structure is based on subject, personal and international learning goals and unique units of work which help children acquire knowledge, skills and understanding in active, exciting and involved classrooms.

IPC Unit Coverage

The IPC is packed with literally hundreds of useful, practical ideas.
You'll find them in the Units of Work. Each unit of work is themed. This means that the units have been written and titled to appeal to children. Most units help children learn about a number of subjects.

• open Units of Work for age group 3-5
• open Units of Work for age group 5-7
• open Units of Work for age group 7-9
• open Units of Work for age group 9-12
