What is the IB Middle Years Programme?

Students learn how to learn

Throughout all IB programmes, students develop approaches to learning skills and the attributes of the IB learner profile.

Students are able to take responsibility for their own learning and understand how knowledge itself is constructed. They are encouraged to try different approaches to learning and to take responsibility for their own educational progress.

Our programmes help IB students:

• ask challenging questions

• think critically

• develop research skills proven to help them in higher education.

IB programmes also encourage students to be active in their communities and to take their learning beyond academic study.

Research shows that students participating in the MYP:

• • • build confidence in managing their own learning

    • learn by doing, connecting the classroom to the larger world

    • outperform non-IB students in critical academic skills [PDF, 647KB]

    • consistently have greater success in IB Diploma Programme examinations

    • thrive in positive school cultures where they are engaged and motivated to excel [PDF, 3.2MB]

    • develop an understanding of global challenges and a commitment to act as responsible citizens.
