The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a comprehensive educational framework designed for students aged 11-16. It encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world, preparing them for success in further education and life beyond the classroom. This guide provides an overview of the MYP curriculum for grades 6-10, including the structure, subject groups, assessment criteria, and unique elements that define the program.
The MYP is divided into five years, corresponding to grades 6-10. Here at ICS, grades 6-8 are in the Middle School and grades 9-10 are in the High School. So, the MYP spans across both the Middle and High Schools. ICS began implementing the MYP in 2022-23 in grades 6-8 then in 2023-24 in grade 9 and finally in 2025-4-25 in grade 10.
