IB Middle Years Programme
The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a challenging framework that encourages students aged 11 to 16 to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. The MYP aims to develop active learners and internationally minded young people who can empathize with others and pursue lives of purpose and meaning. The programme empowers students to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas.
Recognized worldwide as part of the IB continuum. Bridge between PYP and IB Diploma.
