Campus and facilities: In addition to their classrooms at PIPS, children enjoy a vast amount of space that is equipped with shared common areas. There are 10 classrooms and separate shared common areas that include an audio-visual area, a library, a pet corner, an art and drama area, a music room, a cookery room, an Exploratorium, a playground with a sand pit and a riding area, a garden, a covered play area and a physical education area. All of these have been structured to cater for children’s developmental needs, to facilitate their skill development, and to foster their sense of exploration across multiple disciplines.

Competitive advantage: Small class sizes and high teacher-to-student ratios, and lots of outdoor space with large play areas and a garden. PIPS has always been an international school with a diverse population of children and teachers from all over the world, and this diversity has further enhanced its programme.
