The Middle Years Programme curriculum is a well-balanced, academically-focussed, holistic programme that encourages children from the age of 11 to gain knowledge, to develop critical thinking skills and creativity, and to become independent learners.
At the end of MYP 5, students take their E-examinations and present their E-Portfolios, which are externally assessed and moderated to provide them with their MYP Results, OfQual equivalent to GCSEs. These equip our students with all the necessary qualities to prepare them for later progression to ‘A’ Levels or the Diploma Programme (DP).
MYP Subject Groups
