Programs & Methodology
Student Centred Learning
IPS methodology concentrates first on the student's aptitudes, then on the skills and knowledge he/she needs to acquire. IPS aims to give students a broader, deeper, richer educational experience by recognising each student's strongest talents and building on them in order to ensure that all the areas of talent are developed.
Multiple Intelli-Theory
By using the strongest aptitudes or 'intelligences' as a starting point we can educate more effectively by teaching different students the same topic in different ways according to their particular 'intelligences'. In a class situation, this approach allows students to benefit from each other's strengths and to develop their competence in their weaker as in their stronger 'intelligences'.
Bodily-Kinesthetic
Developed at IPS through such activities as sports and athletics, yoga, modelling, textile-making, contemporary and classical dance.
Logical-Mathematical
Developed at IPS through such activities as science and maths projects and experiments, industrial design, stock-market games and helping to run the student store.
Musical
Developed at IPS through such activities as playing, directing studying and composing classical and contemporary music.
Linguistic
Developed at IPS through such activities as creative writing, literature, language learning, theatre, debating and public speaking.
Spatial
Developed at IPS through such activities as sculpture, drawing and painting, photography and geography.
Project Based Learning
If we recognise that individual students have different 'intelligences' it is logical to allow them to develop these different talents through individual projects. Well-organised Primary classes frequently function like this.
