Ages 12-16: Middle Years Programme

Our goal is to inspire students to be capable, confident and adaptable learners in an everchanging global landscape. With this in mind, we have created a quality curriculum for students from MYP1-5, with each year building on the previous, in order to prepare students for the rigours of the DP programme or the high school programme of their choice.

As a candidate school we follow the mission statement of the International Baccalaureate® closely and "...aim to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect". 

Structure 

• Designed for students aged 12 to 16. 
• Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary learning and connections between subjects. 
• Divided into eight subject groups: Language Acquisition, Language and Literature, Individuals and Societies, Mathematics, Sciences, Physical and Health Education, Arts, and Design. 
• Students study all eight subject groups each year, with a varying number of hours dedicated to each subject. 
• Students complete a personal project in their final year, which allows them to demonstrate the skills and knowledge they have acquired throughout the program.

Aims and principles

• Develop students' intellectual, personal, emotional, and social skills.
• Encourage students to become creative, critical, and reflective thinkers.
• Provide a framework for learning that fosters interdisciplinary understanding and international-mindedness.
