Community Project

The Community Project is a passing criteria of the MYP and takes place in Year 9. Students develop awareness of needs in various communities, addressing these needs through service learning.  Working in small groups students engage in  sustained, student centered practical explorations through a process of inquiry, action, and reflection.  The community project not only offers authentic community engagement but also builds on key academic and affective including collaboration, empathy, listening, presenting to a range of audiences, examining the reliability of sources, academic honesty and approaches to research. 

The CP is important to us at WIS as we want you to develop as Global citizens.
We want to give you the opportunity to work with others, develop your social skills, and participate in an authentic inquiry that is personally meaningful to you. We believe in taking action, demonstrating service as action and making a difference in the world.
We also want to empower you to take ownership of your learning. You will be in charge of your projects and be able to demonstrate your self-management skills. 

Students must identify a need in the community and take some form of action to bring about a change or find a way to support that community.
