IB MYP & DP

The IB MYP (Middle Years Programme) and IB DP (Diploma Programme) are two consecutive stages in the International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum of education, aimed at students aged roughly 11–19.

International Baccalaureate – MYP & DP

Overview

The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a world-renowned educational framework designed to nurture curiosity, develop critical thinking, and prepare students for success in higher education and beyond. At our school, we offer two key stages of the IB continuum: the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP).

IB Middle Years Programme (MYP)

Ages: 11–16 | Years: 6–10

The IB MYP bridges the gap between primary education and pre-university study. It focuses on holistic learning, encouraging students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world.

Key Features:

  • Interdisciplinary Learning – Encourages students to think across subject boundaries.

  • Personal Project – A culminating independent research project that develops self-management and research skills.

  • Balanced Curriculum – Includes Language & Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals & Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, Arts, Physical & Health Education, and Design.

By the end of MYP, students are confident communicators, skilled researchers, and reflective thinkers—well-prepared for the academic challenges of the IB Diploma Programme.
