Programme Introduction
IB Middle Years
The MYP emphasizes a student-centered approach that takes education beyond the classroom. Through structured inquiry and contextual learning, students develop the skills needed for success in school and beyond. Teachers facilitate exploration while students take increasing responsibility for their own learning.
THE MYP
PROGRAMME MODEL
At the core of the MYP is the learner, surrounded by the essential elements that drive their development.
The model focuses on developing languages and skills while embedding global contexts, conceptual understanding, interdisciplinarity, and personal projects, all grounded in international-mindedness and action.
Eight subject groups work together to offer a balanced, interconnected education.
THE MYP
Personal Project
The Personal Project is a cornerstone of the final year in the MYP, allowing students to explore an area of personal interest consolidating their learning in the MYP and preparing for the next milestone in their learning, the DP. This project promotes independent learning and reflection, requiring students to apply ATL skills and demonstrate initiative, organization, and critical thinking.
