Discover a world of education
The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is a recognized leader in
the field of international education, encouraging students to be active
learners, well-rounded individuals and engaged world citizens. Founded in
1968, we currently work with 1,876 schools in 124 countries to develop and
offer three challenging programmes to more than 482,000 students aged 3 to 19
years.
FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS:

Middle Years Programme at a glance:
What is the Middle Years Programme?
It is a programme of international education designed to help students
develop the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills necessary to
participate actively and responsibly in a changing world. The International
Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP) is designed for students aged 11
to 16. This period, encompassing early puberty and mid-adolescence, is a
particularly critical phase of personal and intellectual development and
requires a programme that helps students participate actively and responsibly
in a changing and increasingly interrelated world. Learning how to learn and
how to evaluate information critically is as important as learning facts.
Curriculum documents are published in English, French, Spanish and Chinese
but schools may offer the programme in other languages. The Middle Years
Programme (MYP) is one of three programmes offered by the IBO.
