INTRODUCTION OF CURRICULUM

Middle Years Programme (MYP) is for students from Grades 6-10. It provides a framework of learning that encourages students to be creative, critical and reflective thinkers. The MYP emphasizes intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and the real world.
