MYP PROGRAM MODEL

MYP is a framework that organizes state and national curriculum into a consistent format. The aim is to ensure that students are not only knowledgeable about many subject areas, but also develop a genuine understanding and an ability to apply these concepts in new contexts, in preparation for further learning.

State and national objectives and standards are the springboard to inquiry-based teaching and learning. Units begin with engaging questions that answer the questions How do I learn best? Why do I have to learn this? What is the long term impact?The MYP philosophy fosters intercultural awareness within units of study.

As students mature and develop higher-order thinking skills, they explore the disciplines in increasing depth and realize how those disciplines are linked to each other and to local and global issues.
