MYP at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. MS

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School became an International Baccalaureate World School, offering the Middle Years Programme in December 2016.

Dr. MLK MS offers the Middle Years Programme as an inclusive, whole-school model. We believe that all students are capable of achieving high levels when they are challenged, nurtured and supported. MYP provides a healthy balance of academic support and extension that will help all students perform to their full potential.

All Dr. MLK MS students articulate to Seneca Valley High School, an IB World School, offering the Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme and the Career-related Programme. Students can earn the Middle Years Programme certificate in 10th grade with the successful completion of the program and the Personal Project.

IB Mission Statement

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
