The Middle School Experience

An inquiry-based MYP curriculum that sparks intellectual growth, builds resilience, and fosters collaboration.

Learning that connects

Middle School is a time of incredible growth, and our curriculum is designed to provide students with a multitude of new experiences and opportunities. We encourage them to try new things, step out of their comfort zones, and discover what they are passionate about. We follow the framework of the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), providing a holistic and supportive approach to learning. The curriculum is inquiry-based, encouraging students to ask big questions, while its concept-based structure helps them build deep, transferable understanding that connects to the world around them.

To ensure a well-rounded education, all students enjoy a broad range of subjects. This learning is brought to life through exciting interdisciplinary projects, where our teachers coordinate to create opportunities for students to use skills from multiple classes to tackle a single real-world problem. Throughout this journey, the development of character is just as important as academic progress. The values of the IB Learner Profile are woven into daily school life, encouraging students to become caring and open-minded thinkers who are confident enough to be risk-takers.

Global Citizenship

Fostering a strong sense of community and global awareness is at the heart of our Middle School experience. All students take a dedicated Global Citizenship class, which provides a space to explore important real-world issues, understand different cultural perspectives, and reflect on their role and responsibilities as members of a global society. This is complemented by our regular Community Time, which brings entire grade levels or the whole Middle School together for assemblies, collaborative activities, and celebrations, building the shared spirit and supportive relationships that make our school so unique.
