School BuiltAround your Life.

K-12 Global School. Project Based Learning. Personalized Curriculum.

First cohort enrolling 2027 · Global Hubs · Florida HQ

What is IPIA?

A new kind of school.

A global K-12 school with qualified teachers, real-world projects, and a curriculum built around each student’s life, location, and pace.

K-12

Global

Built around your family’s life, wherever it is.

Personalized

Built around your child’s interests, goals, and pace.

Project-based

Real-world projects make up the curriculum.

01

The Coach

A teacher of their own.

Every IPIA student is paired with a qualified Personal Learning Coach who builds their curriculum, runs their core instruction, and stays with them year after year. More than a tutor or online platform. A teacher who knows your child by their first month and answers to their pace, not a bell.

Hands working with field tools, maps, and notes.
02

The Year

A year built in quarters.

Each school year is built as four quarters, and each quarter is anchored in a real-world project. Core subjects run through the project with direct instruction from the coach. By the end of the year, the transcript reads like a school's. The work reads like an expedition.

03

The Place

Curriculum built into your life.

The curriculum is built around where your family lives, whether that's the same town for ten years or a different country every quarter. The coach designs around your environment, your schedule, and what your child is ready to take on next. School comes to you.

The Record

Florida-registered. Accredited-bound.

IPIA is a registered Florida K-12 school on a NEASC accreditation pathway, with the first cohort enrolling in 2027. Students earn a college-ready transcript and a USA high school diploma from an accredited international school. The work is academically rigorous, and graduates leave prepared for whatever comes next, whether that is university, a trade, an apprenticeship, or a path of their own design. Records and credentialing live with the Florida headquarters, no matter where in the world the learning happens.
