The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) helps to prepare students for further education, the workplace, and a lifetime of learning. The program helps develop well-rounded students who respond to challenges with optimism and an open mind, are confident in their own identities, and are able to apply what they learn in real-world situations.

Parents who want the best possible education for their children choose the MYP because it includes:

Rigorous learning objectives
A student-centered approach to teaching
International perspectives
Concern for the whole child
Sustained teaching and learning in more than one language
A focus on learning how to learn
The development of flexible thinking that prepares students to evaluate information critically and apply knowledge in complex, unfamiliar situations
