Business Services

*

Whether you are an NGO or a private company, the IPC believes that at the heart of any successful operation are key elements that should be shared with all IPC schools. For this reason, we have assigned dedicated and experienced team members to work with each IPC school.

Marketing • Communication • Public Relations • Social Media Management

Creative • Branding • Corporate ID • Advertising

Training and Consultancy • Director Training • Practical Guides • Code of Conduct

The business services aspect of the IPC has three objectives: (1) Raise market awareness of IPC schools; (2) Increase the market share of IPC schools versus non IPC competitor schools; (3) Increase enrollment rates for IPC schools versus non IPC schools. These objectives are achieved through expert marketing, creative and design support, training of key personnel and consultancy.

“We have started with our third term and business is booming.

Juliana and I loved IPC and we are so happy we chose it. When we plan lessons with the teachers, we are always impressed with how structured and rich the themes are...our preschoolers have gotten accepted in prestigious and high ranked schools in Dubai...my child got accepted in KG2 and was able to skip KG1 because his examiner was so impressed with his level. Now we really know IPC is great!”

– Tasneem Ajay, Orange Tree Nursery, an IPC school
