Middle Years Programme ISL

Middle Years Programme

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) for 11-16 year olds encourages students to make links between their studies and the real world.

The MYP is an international curriculum designed to help students develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes, and skills necessary to participate actively and responsibly in a changing world. It is a part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. At ISL, it creates a link between the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP).
