ICS LONDON Curriculum

ICS London delivers the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, a challenging and stimulating curriculum for 3-18 year-olds that, upon graduation with the IB Diploma, equips students with a globally-recognised qualification.

Universities in the UK, USA and more than 100 other countries accept the IB, many requiring a pass mark of 24 or 26 – comfortably below ICS London's average student score of 33.2.

From a child's first steps into the world of education, all the way through to higher education, ICS London delivers a best-in-class learning experience, with results to match.

Primary Education at ICS London: The Perfect Start

At ICS London, we offer our primary students the Primary Years Programme of the IB curriculum. The PYP encourages students to learn to appreciate knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and personal attributes as a connected whole.

The programme of inquiry is organised and framed by six transdisciplinary themes:

  • Who we are
  • Where we are in place and time
  • How we express ourselves
  • How the world works
  • How we organize ourselves
  • Sharing the planet

The delivery of the PYP programme is unique to other schools in central London as we offer an Early Years programme as part of the PYP.

The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) & the iGCSE Programme

The MYP for students aged 11 to 14 is a three-year framework that provides excellent preparation for the iGCSE programme, available for students aged 14 to 16. 

Broad and balanced in its approach, the MYP programme features eight subject groups and promotes the fundamental concepts of intercultural understanding, communication and holistic learning. 

Students in Year 10 and Year 11 follow the iGCSE programme. This programme is personalised to their own interests, talents and requirements. Students sit formal iGCSEs at the end of Year 11. iGCSEs help to improve performance by developing skills in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving. This closely aligns to the skills students develop during their first three years studying the MYP. 

Explore how the MYP & iGCSE programmes are tailored to students at ICS London.

It is not necessary for students to have completed either the PYP or MYP to take the IB Diploma Programme.
