2. Grading System
The IB MYP uses a criterion-related grading system from 1 to 7, with 7 being the highest score. Each subject is assessed against specific criteria that measure students' understanding and application of knowledge, conceptual understanding, and skills.
3. Approaches to Learning (ATL) Skills
The IB MYP emphasizes the development of Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, which are essential for academic and personal success. These skills include communication, research, self-management, social skills, and thinking skills.
4. Personal Project
In the final year of the IB MYP, students complete a Personal Project, which is an extended independent research project. This project allows students to explore their interests and passions while demonstrating their knowledge and skills.
5. Global Contexts
The IB MYP uses six global contexts to help students understand the relevance of their learning to the world around them. These contexts include identities and relationships, orientation in space and time, personal and cultural expression, scientific and technical innovation, globalization, and sustainability.
6. Assessment
Assessment in the IB MYP is ongoing and takes various forms, including examinations, projects, presentations, and portfolios. Teachers use rubrics and criteria to evaluate students' performance against the MYP objectives.
7. Qualification
Completing the IB MYP does not grant a formal qualification like the IB Diploma. Instead, students receive a comprehensive report that outlines their progress and achievements throughout the program.
The IB MYP aims to develop internationally-minded, caring individuals who are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to succeed academically and contribute positively to society. It serves as a valuable preparation for the IB Diploma Programme or other educational pathways.
