Middle Years Programme

Middle Years Programme (MYP)

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a curriculum framework designed for learners aged 11–16 by the International Baccalaureate (IB). It is a comprehensive curriculum which allows students to develop deep knowledge and skills they need to act effectively in the twenty-first century. The program provides the young learners  a holistic learning that is related to the real world.

The MYP is a framework that nourishes the younger learner, placing equal importance on all subjects, skills, and conceptual understandings.

The MYP is a programme that focuses on developing knowledge, skills, and conceptual understandings to help learners demonstrate what they can do with what they know.
