The Middle Years Program, or MYP, is for students aged 11-16. In the US, that translates to grades 6-10. The MYP provides the framework of academic challenge with a focus on student-centered learning, critical thinking and international mindedness. The Learner Profile highlights ten traits our students strive to be, including inquirers, reflective and open-minded. Students are encouraged to embrace interdisciplinary learning because understanding the connections between content areas provides real-world relevance.

Parents and students are required to read the Academic Honesty code, found in All About IB.docx, and sign the Academic Honesty Policy .
The Personal Project is the culminating project of the MYP and a compulsory component of the program. Students are introduced to the PP in the spring of MYP Year 4, work on the project over the summer, and write the reflective paper in the fall of MYP Year 5. Check out some of the cool projects the Class of 2021 presented at the PP Showcase. Parents, here are the slides to accompany the recording of the parent session held on May 9, 2022. (Parents, please have your student login to their HCPS account in order to access the recording. The file, even compressed, is too large for this site. And, it seems, that HCPS blocks us from allowing anyone outside of our organization to access the links. Sorry–you can also email me and I can try to zip you the file)
