STUDENT-CENTRED

A learner-centred, contextual approach

The purpose of the Middle Year Program (MYP) is to offer a challenging and academically rigorous programme. This is in addition to the goal of preparing students for a successful life as an individual in a vast, globalized environment.

To achieve this, it is critical to develop skills in self-reliance and both academic but socio-emotional skills that results in a well-rounded individual.

The MYP curriculum is designed around the learner’s needs and goals, fostering personal and academic growth. The outcome is a student who embodies the IB Learner Profile, prepared for a fulfilling and successful future.

An inquiry-based approach

Service as Action is both built into the curriculum and part of extra-curricular time at the MYP level. Through coordinated and scaffolded projects led by the school, students are encouraged and expected to make their Service as Action experience their own.

This gives students the freedom to explore and to draw from their own passions. These projects show a student precisely what it feels like to make positive change within different spheres of his or her life.

Conceptual Dimension

The MYP approaches learning through a conceptual lens, focusing on “big ideas” that connect disciplines and transcend subject boundaries. At BIS, this approach drives curriculum planning, creating impactful learning experiences supported by teacher collaboration and reinforced across multiple courses.

Knowledge-based dimension

The MYP maintains a strong foundation in traditional subject study, with students engaging in languages, mathematics, sciences, humanities, design, and the arts. This subject focus ensures a broad knowledge base, enriched by conceptual understanding and interdisciplinary collaboration.

MYP Coordinator

We are pleased to introduce you to our Middle Years Programme (MYP), an integral part of our educational journey here at Bogaerts International School - South Campus.  

The MYP is designed for students aged 11 to 16, bridging the gap between primary education and the more advanced Diploma Programme.The MYP encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a global perspective. It is a holistic program that focuses on the development of the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.  

We believe that the MYP not only prepares students for the academic challenges of high school but also instills the values and skills necessary for them to thrive in a rapidly changing world.  We are excited to work together with you and your children on this educational journey. Should you have any questions or wish to learn more about the MYP, please feel free to reach out to me or any member of our educational team.
