Aims
The aims of all MYP subject groups state what teachers may expect to teach and what students may expect to experience and learn. An IB education represents a balanced approach, offering students access to a broad range of content that spans academic subjects - Broad and Balanced. The distinction between subject groups blurs to indicate the interdisciplinary nature of the MYP. The subject groups are connected through global contexts and key concepts.

Objectives
MYP objectives reflect and offer opportunities to develop the attributes of the IB learner profile.
The objectives of any MYP subject group state the specific targets that are set for learning in that subject group. They define what the student will be able to accomplish as a result of studying the subject. The objectives of each subject group represent the use of knowledge, understanding and skills that must be taught. They encompass the factual, conceptual, procedural and metacognitive dimensions of knowledge.
In the Middle Years Programme all students are assessed against a prescribed set of criteria, which align with the objectives of each subject group. Just as each subject group has four objectives, so student work will be evaluated in each subject group against four criteria.
Each objective is elaborated by a number of strands; a strand is an aspect or indicator of the learning expectation.
