IB Middle Years Programme
Middle Years Programme Around the World
Middle Years Programme at ISM
In grades 6 through 8, units of inquiry are taught throughout the different subjects. Individual subject teachers make interdisciplinary connections throughout the curriculum using larger concepts where similarities appear within different subjects. State standards, including new Common Core State Standards, help shape the curriculum. In the MYP the standards are incorporated into five Areas of Interaction at each grade level. The five Areas of Interaction that serve as the framework for the MYP curriculum are: approaches to learning (ATL), community and service, health and social education, environments, and human ingenuity. Units of inquiry in the MYP are regularly reflected upon by teachers and students, and adjustments are continually made to strengthen and enhance the learning experience for all students
