Our Admission Process
Welcome to Island Pacific School (IPS). As an independent school of choice, we attract a diverse mix of students and families that support the expressed mission, values, and philosophy of the school. Admission to school is limited by size: small by design, IPS is a grade 6-9 middle school with one class for each grade, and a maximum of 18 students in each class. Our admission process offers ample opportunity for both parents and the student to explore what IPS has to offer and whether our environment will be a good match.
