BOYD INCENTIVE

The Incentive Program at Hugh Boyd has incorporated the Middle Years International Baccalaureate (MYP IB) Program into its curriculum. Students in the Incentive Program will receive MYP IB certification in addition to the Incentive Program qualification, in an enriched and challenging environment.

The Incentive Program is composed of a select group of students in grades 8-10 who have been accepted to the program. These students are enrolled in a set schedule for enriched classes in Science, Humanities and English with the opportunity to take elective classes in the mainstream. All of their classes will be integrated with the MYP IB curriculum.

Although enriched academics is a focus, the Incentive and IB philosophy is to promote the development of holistic learners who value the many facets of education. Our students are expected to demonstrate leadership, teamwork, diligence, empathy and open mindedness as socially responsible young local and global citizens.

Incentive Students will also have opportunities to work on group projects based on community and global service, participate in public performances and participate in outdoor adventure trips.

The Hugh Boyd Incentive Program challenges motivated students to achieve academic and personal excellence. It is designed to meet the needs of high ability students with potential leadership qualities. Students in each grade will study English, Social Studies, and Science in an environment designed to challenge them. There will be opportunities for cooperative learning, independent study, and out of school field trip experiences.

Students must be independent thinkers and risk-takers in their approach to learning and possess critical thinking and creative problem solving skills.

The Incentive Program extends beyond the academic courses and includes:

•leadership training and development through workshops and practical applications in the program setting;

•community service which promotes social responsibility;

•outdoor education which allows students to learn about the relationship of humans and our natural environment; and

•field studies through group or individual field trips, encouraging students to use community resources.

A strong work ethic and positive attitude towards schooling are important selection criteria. Admittance to the program will be through an application and interview process.
