 | At Derby Academy, Grade 1-5 classrooms are enhanced by the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). The IPC is a series of units, time-tested and teacher-developed work that provides cross-curricular, thematic and rigorous teaching structure designed to engage children in today's world.
Originally formed in 2000 for a group of 14 schools around the world, today the IPC is used in more than 1,000 schools in more than 65 countries. The IPC has served as the stimulus for change in schools, improving curricula and enhancing the learning experience. At Derby, the IPC is used to supplement the strong work that already takes place in our Grade 1-5 classrooms and enhance the learning process by applying the knowledge to real-world experiences.
Each unit starts with an exciting "entry point" and follows with investigations, research and problem solving. The IPC is about strong teaching and curriculum, excellent education, strong students and inspiring a love of learning. Children are motivated to remain curious and continue learning. The program works to the core of Derby's mission: To Improve Both Mind and Heart.
