Middle School in BIS runs from age 11 in Grade 6 to age 13 in Grade 8. We are a fully authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) school and our written, taught and assessed curriculum follows the IB approach. The MYP is a truly international programme that helps students develop the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need to be active and responsible global citizens in a changing and increasingly interrelated world. Students in the MYP develop as independent and lifelong learners. The interdisciplinary and inquiry-based nature of the programme encourages students to recognise relationships between school subjects and the world outside and combine relevant knowledge, and practical and social intelligence to solve problems.<\/p>\n

Teachers organise the curriculum through Global Contexts (Identities and Relationships, Orientation in Space and Time, Personal and Cultural Expression, Scientific and Technical Innovation, Globalisation and Sustainability, and Fairness and Development), so that students learn how these contexts help to bring meaning and a \u2018real world context\u2019 to each subject area. Curriculum development is based on around concepts, or \u2018big ideas\u2019, that encourage students to demonstrate levels of thinking that reach beyond facts or topics. The exploration of concepts leads students to engagement with complex ideas and helps them develop skills in transferring and applying skills to new situations.<\/p>\n

The core curriculum in MYP consists of 8 subject groups:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Arts (both Visual Arts and Performing Arts)<\/li>\n
  • Design<\/li>\n
  • Individuals and Societies<\/li>\n
  • Language Acquisition (offered in French, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Russian and English)<\/li>\n
  • Language and Literature (offered in English and Russian)<\/li>\n
  • Mathematics<\/li>\n
  • Physical and Health Education<\/li>\n
  • Sciences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Students are supported in developing skills that have relevance across the curriculum:<\/p>\n
