The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a curricular framework designed for students age 11-16. The MYP is a five-year programme. At CPP, all of our students, grades 6-10, are immersed in the Middle Years Programme.
In an MYP classroom students are at the center of all learning--they are drawing conclusions, making inferences, creating models, and drawing connections between subject areas.
"The MYP curriculum framework comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad and balanced education for early adolescents. Students take the core courses of Language and Literature, Individuals and Societies, Mathematics, Sciences, Physical and Health education, Language Acquisition, Arts, and Design. A unique feature of the programme is that it extends the traditional curriculum to include immersion in four themes--approaches to teaching and approaches to learning, global contexts and concepts. Students also complete a personal project, which is an independent piece of work that may be an essay, an artistic production, or another form of expression."
