IB Middle Years Programme

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) of the International Baccalaureate® (IB) stresses intellectual difficulty. It promotes children aged 11 to 16 to create practical links between their studies and the real world, preparing them for future academic and life success.

The MYP seeks to cultivate engaged learners and global minded young people who can empathize with others and live lives that are meaningful and purposeful. Students are given the opportunity to investigate a wide range of issues and ideas that are important locally, nationally, and worldwide. Young individuals who are creative, critical, and reflective thinkers are the consequence.

In September 2014, the MYP was updated to create a more rigorous and flexible framework that effectively combines with local educational standards. New industry-leading onscreen examinations and ePortfolios open new possibilities for assessing student accomplishment in a reliable and robust digital format.
