Global Contexts

The MYP Global Contexts give context to the learning we do in all subject areas. Throughout their journey in the MYP, students see these themes appear in every class. This helps students to make connections between all subject groups and to see the bigger picture of their academic career.  Global contexts also play an important role in the MYP Personal Project. The MYP Personal Projects guide says that the global contexts "direct our learning toward independent and shared inquiry into our common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet" (20). 

Students must identify one of these global contexts for their MYP Personal Project in order to establish the relevance of their project and why it matters outside of a school requirement.
