What is IPC?

IPC is an AI-powered education platform at ipc.education that helps schools serving ages 3 to 12 run curriculum, lesson planning, student assessment, parent communication and daily operations in one system. It is used by 20,000+ schools and 60,000+ teachers across 98 countries.

No. The International Primary Curriculum is a separate thematic curriculum framework offered by another organisation. IPC at ipc.education is an independent AI school management platform with 20,000+ activities aligned to multiple international standards including EYFS, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, IB PYP, US Common Core and India NEP 2020.

Every IPC subscription includes 20,000+ standards-aligned activities, an AI lesson planner, a year planner, classroom and student management, attendance, observation tools, narrative reports, a parent app, billing and invoicing, peer-reviewed practical guides and a complete admin dashboard. It replaces the seven or eight separate tools most schools buy.

IPC supports more than ten frameworks in a single platform: IPC thematic units, EYFS, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, IB PYP, US Common Core, NGSS, C3 Social Studies, CASEL SEL, ISTE, SHAPE, NAEYC indicators, India NEP 2020 and ECCE, and several state-level standards. Schools can choose a primary framework and blend in activities from others.

IPC is designed for ages 3 to 12, covering preschool, kindergarten, lower elementary and upper elementary. The platform automatically adjusts activities, assessments and standards to match the age band of each class.

Teachers describe the topic, age group and learning goal, and the AI lesson planner instantly produces a structured lesson plan with objectives, materials, step-by-step activities and assessment ideas. Every plan is automatically aligned to the standards of the curriculum framework selected for that class.

Teachers record observations, photos and learning moments throughout the day. The platform turns these into developmental progress data and AI-generated narrative reports parents can actually read, mapped to the framework you teach. Reports can be shared with parents securely or exported as PDF.
