The MYP Personal Project's core mission is to empower students to engage in a self-directed, in-depth inquiry, fostering the development of the Approaches to Learning skills and attributes for lifelong learning. It allows students to consolidate their learning throughout the IB Middle Years Programme by encouraging them to explore personal interests, develop a project, and reflect on their learning journey.  

The MYP Personal Project is a required major assignment that 10th grade students complete at the end of the Middle Years Programme (MYP). It is a chance for students  to explore something they're passionate about and turn it into a meaningful, long-term project.

The students choose a topic they care about or are interested in exploring. It can be anything from creating a clothing line, writing a book, building a website, conducting an experiment, starting a business, creating a short film, spearheading a community service event, or learning to fly solo.

 With the guidance of an adult supervisor, they:

• Set a learning goal 

• Research their topic

• Document their learning process

• Create a product or outcome

• Reflect on their learning process and personal discovery through a written report
