The Personal Project is a culminating activity of the IB Middle Years Program. It is a student-directed inquiry, that MYP students at DHS will work on throughout the fall and spring semesters. The Personal Project can take the form of a piece of independent research and/or investigation that takes the form of a student’s choice, such as a research paper, an original written play or short story, the building of a piece of furniture or other product, and so on. It provides an opportunity for students to produce a truly creative and personal piece of work while they demonstrate the learning skills they have acquired through their years in the IB Middle Years Program.
