• AN INQUIRY-BASED, INTEGRATED APPROACH TO TEACHING AND LEARNING: At IPS we challenge our children to THINK. Our aim is to produce the curious, critical and creative thinkers of the 21st Century.

• A CHILD INSPIRED APPROACH TO LEARNING: At IPS, we favour a holistic approach to education focusing on the personal, social and emotional development of our children.

• AN INTERNATIONALLY MINDED SCHOOL: At IPS we encourage our pupils to think as citizens of the world by promoting international experiences and highlighting the uniqueness of each individual.

• OUR TEACHERS AS LEARNERS: At IPS, we believe that learning is a lifetime vocation. One should never stop learning, reflecting or redefining one’s perceptions or opinions. A CIS (Council of International Schools) ACCREDITATED SCHOOL

IPS is the only primary school in Mauritius to have been fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS), one of the premier worldwide accreditation organisations for international schools, since 2007. This accreditation recognizes and validates our educational standards and helps us ensure that we also meet the international standards for comparable schools. In addition, IPS uses the Australian Centre for Educational Research’s (ACER) international school benchmark assessments (ISA) in years 4 to 6.
