QuIPS celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2023, marking a decade of development and connection within the Sentosa Cove neighborhood, as current and alumni families gathered to celebrate the milestone. The school was founded by Sharon Solomon, who serves as Founder & CEO, drawing on personal experiences to support diverse learners—including those who may not fit traditional models of schooling.
QuIPS hosts a variety of community and cultural events throughout the year, including Global Village Day, Children’s Day, Halloween, Christmas, Lunar New Year, Book Week, Book Parade, Sports and Earth Day, Parent Share Month, and the End-of-Year Concert, all of which bring families together and reflect community involvement. Regular field trips are also integrated into the curriculum, offering nature-based learning opportunities that foster inquiry and shared experiences among students and their families.
The school’s website does not explicitly mention a Parent Teacher Association (PTA), nor does it detail specific parent-group structures or formal parent–teacher committees. However, QuIPS actively involves families through annual events such as Parent Share Month, where parents participate in classroom activities, and Parent Teacher Conferences, offering direct engagement in students’ learning progress. These initiatives suggest channels for parent-school interaction, even if a formal PTA structure is not referenced.
