Middle Years Programme (MYP)

IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) – Age 11-16

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) caters to students aged 11 to 16 and offers a framework that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and reflection. Encouraging intellectual challenge, the MYP establishes links between traditional subjects and their real-world applications. It places strong emphasis on developing communication skills, intercultural understanding, and global engagement – vital attributes for thriving in the 21st century.

Flexible enough to accommodate various national or local curriculums, the MYP builds upon the knowledge, skills, and attitudes nurtured in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). It effectively prepares students for the academic rigors of the IB Diploma Programme and the IB Career-related Certificate.

 

Key Highlights of the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP):

  • Addresses students’ intellectual, social, emotional, and physical well-being.
  • Equips students to comprehend and manage the intricacies of our world, fostering skills and attitudes necessary for responsible action towards the future.
  • Ensures a comprehensive understanding of various subjects through the study of eight subject areas.
  • Encourages the study of at least two languages to enhance students’ appreciation of their own culture and that of others.
  • Provides students with the opportunity to explore a self-directed independent project in an area of personal interest.

The MYP Programme incorporates eight subject groups interconnected through five interactive areas that serve as global contexts for learning. Students engage in the study of at least two languages (forming part of their multilingual profile), humanities, sciences, mathematics, arts, physical education, and technology. In their final year, students undertake an independent ‘personal project,’ demonstrating the development of their skills and understanding.

The MYP core incorporates five contexts for learning, offering significant opportunities to explore contemporary issues affecting students today. Teachers organise the curriculum around the following areas of interaction, employing a common language:

  • Approaches to Learning: Develops learning skills that students can employ during and beyond the programme.
  • Community and Service: Encourages students to understand their role within communities and motivates action in new contexts.
  • Health and Social Education: Equips students with skills necessary to function effectively within societies, empowering informed decision-making concerning their well-being.
  • Environments: Explores human interaction with the broader world, encompassing our roles in virtual, natural, and built environments.
  • Human Ingenuity: Examines the influence of human thought and action on the world, contemplating the repercussions of human intellect.
