INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMME (IB MYP)

Overview

The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) is a framework for teaching and learning. The IB MYP begins in 6th grade (Year 1) and concludes in 10th grade (Year 5). The curriculum for our students is the GCPS Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS), but the IB MYP is a cornerstone piece for our instructional program as it extends the learning and perspective of our students.

Eight subject areas are included in the IB MYP curriculum – Language and Literature (Language Arts), Language Acquisition, Mathematics, Sciences, Individuals and Societies, Design, Health and Physical Education, and Fine Arts. The IB MYP framework places an emphasis on each subject area and the interrelatedness of the subject areas.
