Middle Years Programme (MYP)

Overview

ILG is an authorized IB World School implementing a full continuum of IB Programmes, including the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP).  The MYP is a challenging framework designed for students aged 11 to 16 (Grades 6-10), which emphasizes academic and conceptual challenge -encouraging students to make connections between their studies and the real world.

Developing students in the MYP

The MYP aims to develop students who are:

• Active learners (vs passive learners)

• Internationally minded (able to recognize how they are part of the global community)

• Able to empathize with others

• Have the knowledge and skills to pursue lives of purpose and meaning

ILG offers students opportunities to:

• develop their potential

• explore their own learning preferences

• take appropriate risks

• reflect on, and develop, a strong sense of personal identity

At a time when students are establishing their identity and building their self-esteem, the MYP can motivate students and help them to achieve success in school and in life beyond the classroom.
