Personal Project

"You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job and not be paid for it." -Oprah Winfrey

What is the Personal Project?

The MYP personal project is a student-centered practical exploration in which students consolidate their learning throughout the programme. This long-term project for tenth grade students is designed as an independent learning experience of approximately 25 hours. The personal project formally assesses students’ skills for self-management, research, communication, critical and creative thinking, and collaboration. The personal project encourages students to practice and strengthen their these skills, to connect classroom learning engagements with personal experience, and to develop their own interests for lifelong learning. Students completing the MYP Personal Project in tenth grade are eligible for formal certification from IB for the Personal Project.

The aims of the MYP projects are to encourage and enable students to:

participate in a sustained, self-directed inquiry within a global context
generate creative new insights and develop deeper understandings through in-depth investigation
demonstrate the skills, attitudes and knowledge required to complete a project over an extended period of time
communicate effectively in a variety of situations
demonstrate responsible action through, or as a result of, learning
appreciate the process of learning and take pride in their accomplishments.

Students must identify a global context for their MYP projects to establish their relevance and significance. The following global contexts direct learning towards independent inquiry.

Identities and relationships
Orientation in space and time
Personal and cultural expression
Scientific and technical innovation
Globalization and sustainability
Fairness and development.

MYP projects involve students in a wide range of student-planned learning activities that extend knowledge and understanding and develop important academic and personal skills.
