Middle Years Programme at a glance

Who can offer the programme?

Only schools authorized by the IB as IB World Schools can offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP).

There are three phases to becoming an IB World School, authorized to offer the MYP.

  • Feasibility study and identification of resources

    The school makes an in-depth analysis of the philosophy and curriculum, and identifies the resources needed to deliver it.
  • Trial implementation period

    The school puts in place all the processes and resources needed to deliver the programme, including the training of teachers. The school must then implement the full programme for at least one year.
  • School visit

    At the end of the trial period, a delegation appointed by the IB visits the school and evaluates the school’s capacity to deliver the programme. If the outcome is positive, the school becomes authorized to offer the programme and attains the status of IB World School.

The school’s delivery of the programme is evaluated by the IB four years after authorization and then every five years.
