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.
2-myp-factsheet-for-parents.pdfThe FIRST ring around the student at the center describes the features of the programme that help students develop disciplinary (and interdisciplinary) understanding.
- Approaches to learning (ATL) - demonstrating a commitment to approaches to learning as a key component of the MYP for developing skills for learning.
- Approaches to teaching - emphasising MYP pedagogy, including collaborative learning through inquiry.
- Concepts - highlighting a concept-driven curriculum.
- Global contexts - showing how learning best takes place in context.
The SECOND ring describes some important outcomes of the programme.
- Inquiry-based learning may result in student-initiated action, which may involve service within the community.
- The MYP at AMBRIT culminates in the community project (MYP Year 3).
The THIRD ring describes the MYP’s broad and balanced curriculum.
The MYP organises teaching and learning through eight subject groups:
- Language and literature
- Individuals and societies
- Mathematics
- Sciences
- Arts
- Physical and health education
- Design
- Language acquisition
In many cases, discrete or integrated disciplines may be taught and assessed within a subject group: for example, history or geography within the individuals and societies subject group; biology, chemistry or physics within the sciences subject group.
