MYP Units

The Middle Years Programme aims to help you develop new ways of thinking about how you can apply your knowledge and skills to new situations and ideas. Each unit contains a statement of inquiry, which combines a key concept, one or more related concepts, and a global context.

Key Concepts

In each of your units you will explore one of these key concepts:

Related Concepts

Related concepts are big ideas that you explore that allow you to develop a broader and more in-depth understanding of your subjects.

Each subject has its own subject-specific related concepts and you will usually explore between one and three related concepts in each unit.

Global Context

In each unit you will explore one global context. The global context will help you connect what you are learning to the real world.

There are six global contexts, which are connected to the transdisciplinary themes you explored in the PYP.

Approaches to Learning Skills

Skills are vitally important, both in school and for your future. In each unit you will learn and/or develop different Approaches to Learning skills.
