Middle Years Programme (MYP)

The MYP was developed as a framework for delivering:

teaching and learning with an international focus;
curriculum to students in grades 7 through 10;
a flexibly organized programme to accommodate a variety of schools, students and teaching methods.

The goals of the MYP are:

to develop students’ ability to become reflective and responsible citizens in a globalised world;
to develop students’ awareness and understanding of the relationships between school subjects and the outside world;
to develop students’ inquiry skills;
to develop students’ ability to
critically assess and evaluate information in order to make informed choices;
to develop students’ confidence to become risk-takers and take the initiative to act;
to teach students to become independent, life-long learners.

Why MYP is offered at CDNIS

The MYP provides the framework for delivering an international curriculum.
The MYP prepares students in grades 7 through 10 for the IB Diploma Programme in grades 11 and 12.
The MYP is aimed at inquiry, inclusiveness and global responsibility and thus supports the CDNIS Mission statement : Developing Responsible Global Citizens and Leaders through Academic Excellence.
The MYP dovetails nicely with the OSSD Curriculum.
