IPS’s curriculum is modeled on the National Curriculum for England, tailored to accommodate both local and international students. In the lower years (Kindergarten to Year 6), the school follows a play-based Early Years/Foundation framework that supports personal, social, physical, and creative development.
As students progress into Key Stages 1–3 (Years 1–9), the full range of National Curriculum subjects is offered, including English, Science, Mathematics, Humanities, Modern Foreign Languages (such as French, Mandarin, and Hindi), ICT, PHSE, Art & Design Technology, Music, PE, and Thai language and culture.
For Key Stage 4 (Years 10–11), students transition into the Cambridge IGCSE programme, designed to build critical thinking, inquiry skills, problem solving, and global awareness.
This is followed in Key Stage 5 (Years 12–13) by Cambridge AS and A-Level courses, which prepare students for higher education with a focus on independent thinking, advanced argumentation, and data evaluation in a university-style learning environment .
