The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), for students aged 11-14, recognizes that students in this age group are particularly sensitive to social and cultural influences and are struggling to define themselves and their relations to others. The programme helps students develop the skills to cope with this period of uncertainty. It encourages them to think critically and independently, to work collaboratively and to take a disciplined approach to studying. The MYP seeks to give students an international perspective—to help them become informed about the experiences of people and cultures throughout the world. It also fosters a commitment to help others and to act as a responsible member of the community at the local, national, and international levels.
