Wholly Balanced, Inquiry-Based, Action Oriented, & Globally Connected

Grades 6 to Grades 10

Children become adults, and this healthy development means they have to try things, to come to terms with their emerging bodies, and to understand the changing social complexities in which they are caught. At the same time, they want to be both unique and the same as others, separate and connected, capable and supported.

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is built for these young people in mind, to catch them on their flight, and to ensure that they learn and grow in safe and exciting ways. Through personal growth, the MYP encourages knowledge, curiosity, and competence.

Program Highlight

Grade 10 Personal Projects

After years of inquiring, thinking, researching, studying, and learning, Grade 10 students complete their own, self-initiated discovery known as the Personal Project. Students decide what they want to learn more about, create a proposal for the project, and get started.

Interdisciplinary Learning

The MYP encourages students to become creative, critical, and reflective thinkers. The MYP, like all IB Programmes, is transdisciplinary, meaning students investigate big ideas while learning concepts and skills which have relevance within specific disciplines and across subject areas.
