Mission
The school’s mission is to encourage and inspire all children in our care to become internationally-minded, pioneering scholars. We aim to launch them on a journey of self-discovery, exploring their own being and the universe they are a part of. This journey will raise their self-awareness and nurture a lifelong love of learning and knowledge, benefiting both the world and the students throughout their lives.
Schoolwide Learner Outcomes
In a rapidly changing world, individuals constantly face novel situations and unexpected challenges they may have never encountered in school. These situations often lack specific solutions and cannot rely solely on prior experience for guidance. 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.
Therefore, the school 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.
