Middle Years Programme 11-16 year olds
The Middle Years Programme (MYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB) 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).
“I love ISL because of the incredibly diverse and welcoming community and the new opportunities that venture my way to take me through middle school. ”
