What is the Middle Years
Programme?
The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) is designed for students aged 11 to 16.
This period, encompassing early puberty and mid-adolescence, is a particularly critical phase of personal and intellectual development and requires a programme that helps students participate actively and responsibly in a changing and increasingly interrelated world. Learning how to learn and how to evaluate information critically is as important as learning facts.
Curriculum documents are published in English, French, Spanish and Chinese but schools may offer the programme in other languages.
The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is one of three programmes offered by the IB.
