International Pioneers School

INTERNATIONAL PIONEERS SCHOOL (IPS) was established in January 1998, initially as a kindergarten school which subsequently grew and expanded to become a highly successful international school, operating Kindergarten through Year 13 and leading to IGCSE examinations during Year 11 and AS/A examinations during Years 12/13. Our Curriculum is modeled on the British National Curriculum and adapted to meet the needs of local and overseas students.

Our Vision is to empower every child holistically to be a competitive global citizen who endeavors to build a sustainable world.

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.

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