The IPC units provide a broad, thematic program across History, Geography, Science, Technology, ICT, Music and Art, fostering participation and an international perspective. English is the main language of instruction in Milepost 2 and Milepost 3, while Dutch supports language development in earlier years. The school offers a green campus, parental involvement, and social gatherings. The library hosts Dutch and English titles, with annual new books and Dutch Child Book Week. Portfolios document student progress across IPC, literacy in Dutch and English, and Mathematics, using an assessment for learning approach. A seamless path to further study.
