MISSION & VISION

Vision

To empower every child holistically to become a competitive global citizen that endeavours to build a sustainable world.

Mission

The school’s mission is to encourage and inspire all children in our care to become internationally-minded pioneering scholars, to launch themselves on a journey of discovery, into their own being and the universe they are a part of, thus raising self-awareness, and nurturing a love of learning and knowledge that will benefit the world and the students for the rest of their lives.

Schoolwide Learner Outcomes

In a rapidly changing world, individuals are constantly faced with novel situations and unexpected predicaments that they would have never encountered at school, and for which they cannot find specific solutions and guidance in prior experience. The ability to handle such situations and solve complex issues as they arise is associated with greater opportunities for employment and the ability to participate fully in global society.

 

The school therefore aims to enable all students to become global citizens who are pioneering and internationally minded.

Welcome to INTERNATIONAL PIONEERS SCHOOL

International Pioneers School (IPS) was officially established in August 1998, initially as a kindergarten school, which subsequently grew and expanded to become a highly successful international school, operating Kindergarten through Year 13.

 

As a matter of benchmarking IPS school students against the world’s best, IPS students are encouraged to take the Cambridge IGCSE examinations after completing Year 11. This is followed by the Cambridge International or Pearson’s Edexcel examinations during AS and A levels while studying in Years 12 and 13. Our curriculum is modeled on the National Curriculum for England and adapted to meet the needs of local and overseas students.

 

IPS is formally recognized and licensed by the Ministry of Education, and accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Office for National Education Standards and Quality Assessment (ONESQA).

 

IPS continues to expand and welcomes new students throughout the year for all levels from ages 3 years to 15 years +. All nationalities are welcome.

International Accreditation

International Pioneers School is now also an externally accredited international school by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) based in the USA.
