Our Curriculum
We use the International Early Year Curriculum (IEYC) and the UK-standards International Primary Curriculum (IPC) with a values-based approach to academic, physical, emotional, and social development.
SUBJECT GOALS
To help children learn the subject knowledge, skills and understanding they need to become aware of the world around them (adaptability, thoughtfulness).
PERSONAL GOALS
To help children develop the personal skills they need to take an active part in the world throughout their lives (resilient, self-motivated learners)
INTERNATIONAL LEARNING GOALS
To help children develop an international mindset alongside their awareness of their own nationality (global, moral, ethical, citizens)
cycle.
TO DO EACH
To do each of these in ways which take into account up-to-date research on how children learn as well as how to encourage them to become life-long learners (enquiry, respect).
THE IEYC
The International Early Years Curriculum launched in 2016 for children aged 2–5 years old. It is used by over 140 nurseries and early year settings, in 47 countries worldwide.
The IEYC uses international best practices, holistic inquiry and play-based approaches that cover all curriculum areas including personal, social and emotional development. The IEYC recognizes best practices and the developmental needs of early years education and enables teachers to embrace the interconnected nature of learning.

WHY CHOOSE THE IPC?
The IPC uses an inquiry based approach to learning which provides “real-life” as well as role playing situations for students to gain practical and experiential knowledge intertwined with research and skills development.
We see each student as a unique individual with specific needs, goals, and dreams for the future. Students and teachers work in partnership to explore learning through a theme based approach. The IPC focuses on Knowledge (what we already know), Skills (concerned with abilities [I am able to]) and Understandings which are developed as we acquire new knowledge and skills. students.
