City Cite - City immersion experience for secondary students

International Baccalaureate

International Baccalaureate - Middle Years Program (MYP)

The MYP is a framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. It aims to develop active learners and internationally minded young people who can empathise with others and pursue lives of purpose and meaning.


The program empowers students to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas of significance locally, nationally and globally. The result is young people who are creative, critical and reflective thinkers.

The MYP is flexible enough to accommodate the demands of most national or local curricula. It builds upon the knowledge, skills and attitudes developed in the PYP and prepares students to meet the academic challenges of the IB Diploma program and the IB Career-related program.


Students are taught to think for themselves and to drive the learning process. Education is seen as a way of life and living. The IB is about creating a community of learners and improving professionalism within that community. Encouraging the caring, nurturing, altruistic qualities found in the learner profile.
