Career & Tech Education Information
The IB Middle Years Programme
- addresses students’ intellectual, social, emotional and physical well-being.
- enables students to understand and manage the complexities of our world, and provides them with the skills and attitudes they need in order to take responsible action for the future.
- ensures breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding through the study of eight subject areas.
- requires the study of at least two languages to support students’ understanding of their own culture and of others.
- provides the opportunity for students to undertake an independent project in an area of personal interest.
An IB education is the result of a dynamic interaction between…
- IB learners (who)
- teaching and learning in the IB (how)
- global contexts for teaching and learning (why) and
- the pursuit of significant knowledge and understanding (what).
