Why the Middle Years Programme?

In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, students need a sophisticated combination of knowledge, skills and personal attributes to prepare for success, achieve personal growth and lead lives with meaning.

Introduced in 1994, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) is part of an educational continuum that emphasizes concepts, ideas and issues that cross disciplinary, cultural, national and geographical boundaries. Within a coherent, comprehensive curriculum framework, the MYP provides academic challenge and encourage development of life skills on which students rely throughout the course of independent, purpose-driven lives.

"Student learning in the MYP focuses on taking one's place in communities, acting in new contexts, making informed choices about one's own welfare, interacting with the world and considering the consequences of human thought and action."
