Our Middle School Year Program {MYP} develops internationally-minded young people who can empathize with others and pursue lives of purpose and meaning. The MYP provides a framework of academic challenge and holistic education that enhances our American curriculum through engaging and personalized learning. The MYP fosters the social, thinking, research, communication and self-management skills that help students learn how to succeed in and beyond the classroom.
<\/span><\/p>\n

The MYP culminates in our Highschool Years Program, in Grade 9 with community work apprehension. We guide students throughout Middle School years to collaborate and pursue service learning. Encouraging and enabling students to participate in self-directed exploration, generating new insights, demonstrating skills, attitudes and knowledge, communicating effectively, demonstrating responsible action and appreciating the process of learning and taking pride in their accomplishments.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Listening<\/li>\n
  • Speaking<\/li>\n
  • Reading<\/li>\n
  • Writing<\/li>\n
  • Viewing<\/li>\n
  • Presenting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
