IB Middle Years Programme

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) at 10X International School nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and leadership in learners aged 14–16.

Designed for Grades 9 and 10, it bridges foundational learning with advanced inquiry, preparing students for success in the IB Diploma Programme and beyond.

What is the MYP?

The IB Middle Years Program (IB MYP) is a concept-driven, transdisciplinary curriculum framework that empowers students aged 11–16 years to think critically, explore creatively, and take ownership of their learning. At 10X International School, we provide MYP learners with a supportive environment, IB-trained faculty, and future-ready facilities that nurture independence, holistic growth, and academic excellence, preparing them for success in the IB Diploma Program and beyond.

Why opt for the MYP?

The programme model highlights the key, interconnected features of an MYP education 

      • At its core is the learner, emphasizing the development of students as inquirers, thinkers, and principled individuals.
      • Surrounding the learner are the Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, which build essential competencies like critical thinking, communication, and self-management.
      • The model incorporates Global Contexts, which help students connect their learning to real-world issues, making education meaningful and relevant.
      • The eight subject groups—from Language and Literature to Sciences and the Arts—are positioned in the outer ring, ensuring a balanced and interdisciplinary curriculum.

         

      • Two key components complete the MYP model: Service as Action, which fosters responsible citizenship, and the Personal Project, a culminating independent research endeavour. 

Together, these elements reflect our commitment to developing students who are knowledgeable, skilled, and globally aware.
