MYP

What is MYP??

           "MYP stands for Middle Years Programme. The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) emphasizes intellectual challenge. It encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world, preparing them for success in further study and in life. The MYP aims to develop active learners and internationally minded young people who can empathize with others and pursue lives of purpose and meaning. The programme empowers students to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas of significance locally, nationally and globally. The result is young people who are creative, critical and reflective thinkers."

The I.B. program focuses on a set of traits for students to work towards. These traits transcend all subjects and are the types of learners our kids are striving to become.
