International Preschool
Japan was one of the first countries to develop the international preschool concept and now has over 100 preschools that describe themselves as being international in nature. Once the choice of diplomats and transitional businessmen, international preschools are proving to be beneficial not only to the children of expats, but also children native to the host country as well. An immersion into a cross section of cultural, religious and linguistic variations make international early learning centers distinctive in their style of education and recent academic papers reveal the intellectual benefits of learning a second language at a young age.
To meet the growing demands of international preschools and set a benchmark for educational standards across the world, the International Preschool Curriculum (IPC) has introduced a research based curriculum drafted by a panel of academics, teachers and consultants. Drafters include those familiar with IB and national curriculum drafting.
The IPC also acts as an association of international preschools providing parents with a guarantee that their IPC school is required to abide by minimum requirements and a code of ethics.
For more information on how the IPC can benefit your school in Japan or the Far East Asia region, please contact the IPC or visit: http://www.internationalpreschoolcurriculum.com
