Middle Years ProgrammeGrade 6-10
A challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections
between their studies and the real world, the MYP is inclusive by design; students of
all interests and academic abilities can benefit from their participation.
The MYP curriculum framework comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad
and balanced education for early adolescents.
