The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is designed for students aged 11-16. Our Yr 6 students are in Yr 1 of the programme and our Yr 7 students are in Yr 2 of the programme. The programme reinforces that learning how to learn and how to evaluate information is as important as learning facts. The Middle Years programme has three fundamental concepts which support and strengthen all areas of the curriculum.

• Intercultural Awareness
• Communication
• Holistic Learning

In addition to the fundamental concepts, the Middle Years Programme develops connections between disciplines through the areas of interaction. They form part of the framework for student inquiry and take investigative learning further than subject boundaries, encouraging a deeper level of understanding.

Approaches to Learning help students develop an awareness of how they learn best, of thought processes and learning strategies.
Community and Service starts in the classroom and extends beyond it, requiring students to participate in the community in which they live.
Human ingenuity allows students to explore the processes and products of human creativity, as well as their consequences.
Environments allow students to examine global issues, consider the resources we have and need. This challenges them to take action to help the environment.
Health and Social Education deals with physical, social and emotional health and intelligence, the key aspects of development leading to complete and healthy lives.

The IB Middle Years Programme has eight areas of study:

• MYP Mathematics
• MYP Language A (English)
• MYP Humanities
