Anthony MIddle School and IB - Middle Year Program

Congraulations Anthony Middle School!

Anthony Middles School was authorized for the IB Middle Years Program this summer.  The PTSA at Anthony wanted the community to share in the celebration and purchased this IB emblem.

The IB Middle Year Program (MYP) provides a framework of learning which encourages students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers. The MYP emphasizes intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and to the real world. It fosters the development of skills for communication, intercultural understanding and global engagement, qualities that are essential for life in the 21st century.

 

The MYP is flexible enough to accommodate the demands of most national or local curriculums. It builds upon the knowledge, skills and attitudes developed in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and prepares students to meet the academic challenges of the IB Diploma Programme and the IB Career-related Certificate (IBCC).

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 in understanding their own culture and that of others
• provides the opportunity for students to undertake an independent project into an area of interest
