THE IB MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMME (For Existing Secondary Two to Four Students)

The Secondary two to four students follow the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP). The MYP is driven by a rigorous accreditation process that ensures the school maintains the highest international academic standards.

Students are trained to think critically about learning and they have to integrate the five Areas of Interaction (AOIs), namely, Approaches to Learning, Community and Service, Environments, Health and Social Science and Human Ingenuity into the academic subjects. The Philosophy of the programme aims to promote international awareness so that students are groomed to be gracious citizens of the world.

Subject groups offered in Grade 8 (Secondary Two) include the following:

Language A - English
Language B - Chinese
Physical Education
Mathematics
Humanities - Geography and History
Science
Technology - Information Technology
Art - Visual Arts and Performing Arts

Subject groups offered in Grade 9 and 10 (Secondary Three and Four) include the following:

Language A - English
Language B - Chinese
Physical Education
Mathematics - Elementary Mathematics and Additional Mathematics
Humanities - Geography and History
Science - Physics, Chemistry and Biology
Technology - Information Technology and Design Technology
Art - Visual Arts and Performing Arts

At the end of the final year, students are to submit a personal project based on the subjects learned through the programme.
