The Middle Years Programme (MYP), designed for students aged 11 to 16, provides a framework for learning that emphasizes intellectual challenge and fosters connections between traditional disciplines studied and the real world. The MYP focuses on ‘learning to learn’ through the systematic development of skills related to communication, collaboration, organization, self-management, reflection, inquiry, information management, media literacy, creative and critical thinking, and the transfer of learning. It also encourages intercultural understanding and global engagement, essential qualities for today’s youth.

Interdisciplinary teaching and learning result in a cohesive curriculum that addresses the developmental needs of students and prepares them for future academic studies and life in an increasingly interconnected world. The MYP uses concepts and contexts as starting points for meaningful integration and knowledge transfer across eight subject groups. For those students wishing to obtain a formal qualification after the fifth year of the program, the IB offers an electronic assessment leading to the attainment of the MYP certificate or a document with course results for individual disciplinary areas.
