IB Parent General Information

JL Long Middle School is a authorized International Baccalaureate MYP school.

For further information about the IB and its programmes visit http://www.ibo.org.

What is The Middle Years Programme (MYP)?


The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a curriculum framework designed for learners aged 11–16 by the International Baccalaureate (IB). 

The MYP is a five-year programme, that can be implemented in a partnership between schools or in abbreviated two, three, or four-year formats.

In an MYP classroom, you’ll notice that the students are at the center of learning. They are drawing connections between all subject areas, learning is explicitly linked to the world around them, participation in a foreign language is required, and a variety of formal and informal assessments are used to inform teaching and learning. 

MYP learning experiences infuse global points of view wherever possible in order to promote understanding of other cultures, an awareness of the human condition and an understanding that there is a commonality of human experience.

The MYP curriculum framework comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad and balanced education for early adolescents. Students take the core courses of language and literature, individuals and societies, mathematics, sciences, physical and health education, language acquisition, arts, and design. 

A unique feature of the programme is that it extends the traditional curriculum to include immersion in four themes— approaches to teaching and approaches to learning, global contexts and concepts. 

Students also complete a personal project, which is an independent piece of work that may be an essay, an artistic production or another form of expression.
