MYP curriculum

MYP Subject groups

There are 8 subject groups in the MYP:

• Language and Literature

• Language acquisition

• Sciences

• Mathematics

• Individuals and Societies

• Design

• Physical and health education

• Arts

Within these students will study different subjects either as independent courses or as integrated, interdisciplinary units. In grades 6-8 students will have courses from each subject group to ensure a good balance and variety at the early stages of the MYP. In grades 9-10 students will have some flexibility in terms of course choices so that they can start focusing on the subjects that they are planning to continue studying in grades 11-12. The school guides students in their subject choices to make sure that their journey through the MYP is consistent and meets the programme requirements. 

The tables below show the subjects that students study in G6-8 and G9-10.
