Building Life Skills at Nord Anglia International School Manila: How the IPC Cultivates the 6Cs

At Nord Anglia International School Manila, learning goes beyond textbooks. True education equips students not only with knowledge but with the skills and mindset to navigate an ever-changing world. The International Primary Curriculum (IPC) transforms learning by nurturing the 6Cs, helping our students become collaborative, compassionate, critical thinkers who are creative, curious, and committed.

Curiosity at the Heart of Learning

The IPC encourages students to ask questions, explore ideas, and connect learning to real-world contexts. Curiosity drives engagement and fuels a love for learning, helping children see connections between subjects, cultures, and communities. Through exciting thematic units, students are invited to explore big ideas, experiment, and discover solutions, all while building the confidence to think independently and collaboratively.

How does the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) help students develop each of the 6Cs in their daily learning?

“I passionately believe that that the IPC is the only Primary future ready curriculum that nurtures all the attributes that children need to become global citizens. In a world where change is constant, the most important gift we can give our children is the ability to think, question, adapt, and truly understand how to learn. This is what empowers them to grow into confident, compassionate global citizens who can thrive wherever life takes them.” – shared by Sara Berenguer, Head of Primary. 

A Global Approach to Learning

The power of the IPC and the 6Cs is magnified across Nord Anglia Education’s global network. Through the Global Campus, students connect with peers from schools around the world, sharing ideas, collaborating on projects, and gaining a broader perspective on global issues. This global connection reinforces curiosity, cultural understanding, and the ability to think beyond local boundaries.

By nurturing the 6Cs through the IPC, NAIS Manila prepares students not only academically, but also socially, emotionally, and creatively. Learning becomes meaningful, connected, and purposeful, equipping students to thrive in school and in life and to approach the world with confidence, curiosity, and care.
