The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) is an integral part of our curriculum, offered to students in Years 7-11. Specifically designed for students aged 11 to 16 worldwide, the IB MYP follows an inquiry-based approach and emphasizes both content and skills development. It provides students with opportunities to explore and make meaningful connections between their academic studies and the real world.

The IB MYP framework encourages students to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners. It aims to foster holistic development by focusing on intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth. Through interdisciplinary units of study, students engage in a balanced range of subjects, including language acquisition, humanities, sciences, mathematics, arts, physical education, and technology.

One of the key features of the IB MYP is its emphasis on developing critical and creative thinking skills, along with fostering international-mindedness and intercultural understanding. Students are encouraged to think critically, analyze information, solve problems, collaborate with others, and reflect on their own learning. The programme also promotes the development of communication skills, including effective oral and written expression.

Upon completion of the IB MYP, students are well-prepared to progress to the next phase of their educational journey. They have a strong foundation of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that enable them to thrive in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) or the Career Programme (CP) offered in Years 12 and 13. The IB MYP serves as a solid preparation for the rigorous academic challenges and global perspectives offered in the senior years of study.

By engaging in the IB MYP, students not only develop subject specific knowledge and skills but also cultivate a deep understanding of their role as active global citizens. They are encouraged to embrace the attributes of the IB learner profile, which includes being inquirers, thinkers, communicators, risk-takers, knowledgeable, principled, open-minded, caring, balanced, and reflective individuals.

Overall, the IB MYP at our school provides a comprehensive and enriching educational experience that nurtures students' intellectual curiosity, fosters their personal growth, and prepares them for success in their future academic endeavours and beyond.
