International Primary Curriculum

• 

  Developed from international, evidence-based research, the IPC fosters holistic development for 5-11-year-olds. It provides enjoyable, relevant, and rigorous learning experiences, preparing students to be globally competent, socially conscious, and motivated contributors.

  The IPC framework includes comprehensive materials and a defined pedagogy for learners, teachers, and leaders. Professional development and support services from the ICA enhance this curriculum.

Why the IPC?

In the Dynamics classroom, the IPC features thematic units connecting learning across subjects, outlined in two mileposts (1 & 2). This curriculum clearly defines learning goals in three areas:

1. Subject Learning Goals:
   • Art, Geography, ICT and Computing, Music, PE, Science, History, Health and Well-being, and Design, Technology, and Innovation.
   • Goals are developed through international curricula and quality assurance involving global schools.
   • Maths and Language Arts connections encourage application of learning.
2. Personal Learning Goals:
   • Adaptability, Collaboration, Communication, Empathy, Ethical behavior, Resilience, Respectfulness, Critical Thinking.
   • Essential characteristics for globally-oriented students to thrive in current and future challenges.
3. International Learning Goals:
   • Develops globally competent learners interested in acting on local and global issues.
   • Promotes engagement with various perspectives, countries, and cultures.

All learning activities aim to help students achieve these goals through reading, researching, writing, illustrating, and collaborative work. Assessment involves specific activities, explanation of thinking, and sometimes the use of digital technology as a learning tool.
