Middle School

Where EQ meets IQ
We recognize the importance of having a distinct approach… aligned with the unique developmental period that is middle school, and aims to shape independent and collaborative learners who are equipped to take on the social, emotional, and academic challenges of high school (and beyond).

Middle Years Programme (MYP)
Year 7 – Year 11
The MYP is a five-year inquiry- and concept-based curriculum framework within which 4-6 units of investigation are created and explored by teachers and learners each year. It is a programme in which young people can develop as holistic learners in the contexts of subject disciplines, allowing them to nurture a wide knowledge and understanding along with the ability to go deep into the subject material. The ability to deal with information, get the best out of oneself and others, and to be proactive in making wise decisions to bring positive change to the communities and environments they live in, are the prime objectives of our MYP.
Building a solid academic foundation, the MYP develops students’ confidence in managing their own learning and making connections between their learning in the classroom and the real world. After finishing the MYP, students are well-prepared for further education, including national and international courses of study for 16-19 year olds.
