<\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]The MYP is designed for students aged 11 to 16. It provides a coherent and comprehensive curriculum framework of learning. The MYP encourages students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers. The MYP emphasizes intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and to the real world. It fosters the development of skills for communication, intercultural understanding<\/strong> and global engagement<\/strong>, qualities that are essential for life in the 21st century. The MYP offers students opportunities to develop their potential, to explore their own learning preferences, to take appropriate risks, and to reflect on and develop a strong sense of personal identity. The MYP design is guided by three fundamental principles of the IB mission statement:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″ margin_top=”40″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3\/4″]

The design of the MYP is sufficiently flexible to accommodate the demands of national or local curriculums as schools develop their own units of study. Therefore, the MYP offers teachers the opportunity to develop learning experiences for students that meet the demands of their curriculum standards.<\/p>\n

    The MYP Programme provides a thorough study of various subject disciplines, as listed in the dark red ring of the curriculum model. While acknowledging the unique role that each subject contributes to a student\u2019s basic educational foundation, it also emphasizes the inter-relatedness of these subject areas through interdisciplinary projects<\/strong> and activities.<\/p>\n

    The curriculum model provides an impression of the layers and themes permeating the MYP, with the student being placed in the center. The Global Contexts<\/strong> and Concepts<\/strong> in the inner ring connect the subjects to today\u2019s ever-changing world. Through Service, Action<\/strong> and Projects<\/strong>, students are supported in applying their knowledge on a personal, local, national and international level. Encircling the model is a band of International\u2013Mindedness<\/strong>, which signifies the open-mindedness of our students to different approaches to problems and points of view around the world.[\/vc_column_text]
