School BuiltAround your Life.

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

First cohort enrolling for 2027 · Patagonia campus opens 2027 · Florida HQ

What is IPIA?

A new kind of school.

A global K-12 school with licensed 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 actually is.

Personalized

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

Project-based

Real-world projects in the places your family lives.

01

The Coach

A teacher of their own.

Every IPIA student is paired with a licensed Personal Learning Coach who builds their curriculum, runs their core instruction, and stays with them year after year. Not a tutor, not a platform. A teacher who knows your kid 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 and through direct instruction with the coach. By the end of the year, the transcript reads like a school's. The work reads like an expedition's.

03

The Place

Curriculum built into your life.

The curriculum is built around where your family actually 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 kid 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 receive a real transcript and a real diploma. Records and credentialing live with the Florida headquarters, no matter where in the world the learning happens.

From wherever the family already lives.

Same year. Very different ground. Three real examples, then one opened all the way up.

Cultural Diasporas

History, religion, language, and trade. Studied in a city built by three thousand years of crossing currents.

Martial Arts & Body

Anatomy, philosophy, and discipline. Learned through training, monastery study, and how the body actually adapts.
