MYP
middle years programme: 6th - 10th grades
Areas of Interaction
The MYP has four areas of interaction which provide it with its unique core. Teaching subject areas through these contexts allows teaching and learning to focus on attitudes, values and skills.
Community and service considers how students can learn about their place within communities and be motivated to act in a new context.
Health and social education is designed to help students identify and develop skills that will enable them to function as effective members of societies. They also learn about how they are changing and how to make informed decisions that may relate to their welfare.
Environments considers how humans interact with the world at large and the parts we play in our environments.
Human ingenuity deals with the way in which human minds have influenced the world and considers the consequences of human thought and action. Through this area of interaction students can develop ways of thinking that are a good preparation for the theory of knowledge course in the Diploma Programme.
Furthermore, The MYP requires schools to teach a broad and balanced choice of subjects in every year of the programme, organized into eight subject groups:
-
Language A
-
Humanities
-
Technology
-
Mathematics
-
Arts
-
Sciences
