What the Middle Years Programme is

1

The Middle Years Programme, or MYP, is the IB course for ages 11 to 16, taught over five years. It builds subject knowledge together with skills for research, communication and independent study.

2

Many students move from the MYP into the Diploma Programme, so the habits formed here carry forward.

How MYP work is assessed

Subjects are assessed against criteria and given a grade from 1 to 7. Students in the final year may sit on-screen eAssessments, and every student completes a personal project.

Because the criteria describe what good work looks like, learning to read them is one of the most useful MYP skills.

The personal project

  1. The personal project is an extended piece of independent work. It asks students to choose a goal, plan, keep a record and reflect on the result.
  2. Starting early and keeping a regular log makes the project far less stressful.

Where tutoring can help
