Conceptual understanding
“MYP students use concepts as a vehicle to inquire into issues and ideas of personal, local and global significance and examine knowledge holistically.”
The MYP is not a separate curriculum; we cover all that you would following the National Curriculum. But the MYP’s emphasis on big ideas encourages critical thinkers whose studies have relevance beyond a particular time and culture.

All students learn a second language.
Students develop their understanding of their local and global community through service learning and community work.
