The IPC Personal Goals are eight values: resilient, adaptable, communicator, thinker, ethical, collaborator, respectful, and empathetic. These values are woven through daily school life to guide how we learn, work, and interact, helping children grow into compassionate, responsible, and confident individuals. Early Years (Pre-Reception and Reception) use play-based approaches to build social confidence, emotional awareness, independence, and the ability to work with others. Primary learning uses the IPC to develop knowledge and personal growth through meaningful, connected units across science, history, geography, health and well-being, design, technology, art, music, and physical education. Assessment and reporting focus on ongoing, formative understanding; in the early years, formal tests are avoided, and IPC Exit Points provide opportunities for students to demonstrate learning through performances and projects. Learning beyond the classroom includes carefully planned trips to enrich understanding and connect classroom units to real-world contexts.
An inclusive learning approach differentiates instruction to meet diverse needs. The school supports both native and non-native speakers through differentiation and inclusive practices to access and engage with learning.
English literacy is taught through Jolly Phonics in Pre-Reception, and through Jolly Phonics and Jolly Grammar from Year 1 to Year 6. French literacy is a core subject from Year 1; early reading uses La Planète des Alphas, and from Year 2 to Year 6, instruction aligns with the French National Curriculum. The inclusive learning approach supports both native and non-native speakers to develop language skills and confidence in English and French.
Health and well-being are integrated as part of the IPC, with safety emphasized as a priority. The school notes that a full-time on-site nurse is not yet available, but staff are first aid trained and basic health needs are managed by the administration and teaching teams, with parents informed if a child is unwell. Health and safety considerations are addressed in planning and in daily routines to support students' well-being.
Safety is the highest priority, with plans for on-site health support evolving as the school grows. A full-time school nurse is not yet on site, and first aid trained staff handle initial health needs. If a child becomes unwell during the day, parents are promptly informed; emergency and medical considerations are managed in collaboration with families and staff.
