The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) is for students aged 11-16 and is a five-year programme.The MYP is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world.Students who complete the MYP are well-prepared to undertake the IB Diploma Programme (DP).
The MYP curriculum framework comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad and balanced education for early adolescents.
Through the Middle Years Programme (MYP) projects, students experience the responsibility of completing a significant piece of work over an extended period of time.
MYP projects encourage students to reflect on their learning and the outcomes of their work – key skills that prepare them for success in further study, the workplace and the community.
All students who complete the MYP in Year 5 complete the personal project.MYP projects are student-centred and age-appropriate, and they enable students to engage in practical explorations through a cycle of inquiry, action and reflection.
Action and service have always been shared values of the IB community.
Students take action when they apply what they are learning in the classroom and beyond. IB learners strive to be caring members of the community who demonstrate a commitment to service—making a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment.
Service as action is an integral part of the programme, especially in the MYP community project.
