What is the IBMYP Personal Project? 

The Personal Project is a student-planned experience meant to develop the student's capacity and agency for lifelong learning. 

Students design, implement, and reflect on a plan to achieve a learning goal and to create a product associated with that goal. The Personal Project is intended to be based on a topic of interest to the student and allows them to explore and practice learning outside of the traditional classroom setting. Example topics include sculpture, gardening, athletics, film-making, and more!

The IBO states, "“As today’s MYP students mature, they will be increasingly called on to shape the world that they inhabit. To prepare students for this responsibility, middle level education must cultivate students’ motivation, agency and capacity for lifelong learning.”
