Middle Years Programme (MYP)

The Middle Years Programme focuses on subject based inquiry that enables the child to explore the breadth and depth of topics across subjects based on ‘key concepts’, ‘related concepts’, and ‘global context’. The Middle Years Programme curriculum is developed with the goal to support the child’s transition from MYP to the Diploma Programme (DP).

The Pupil International School is a candidate school* for the MYP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education – that we believe is important for our students. * Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes visit http://www.ibo.org

Each topic in every subject is explored over 6 weeks and concludes with a summative assessment (SA) for each subject group evaluated on the basis of the subject objectives. There are 4 objectives for every subject group. Formative assessments (FA) are conducted during the course of the phase to procure feedback on the teaching-learning process and modify the journey accordingly. MYP eAssessments are conducted by IBO at the end of Grade 10. The students receive IB-certified mark sheets based on online examinations and coursework ePortfolios.

Children in MYP year 3 (Grade 8) carry out a community project to address the needs of the community/neighbourhood through the knowledge and skills acquired. This translates the inquiry into the action of service towards a community. MYP year 5 (Grade 10) students carry out a personal project to apply and strengthen the skills and the acquired subject-specific learning, and in turn develop an area of personal interest to supplement their succeeding levels of learning. This personal project provides the platform for every child to express and produce a truly personal outcome of their learning in the MYP.
