-
Assessment Policy: By providing clarity on assessment expectations and practices, this policy promotes fairness and transparency, empowering students to strive for excellence.
-
Inclusion Policy: Embracing diversity and individual needs, this policy ensures that every student receives equitable access to opportunities, resources, and support.

Language Policy: Recognizing the importance of language development, this policy promotes multilingualism and cultural awareness, enriching students' global perspectives.
Our IB Continuum:
MYP is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. Students who complete the MYP are well-prepared to undertake the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP).
MYP aims to cultivate active learners and internationally minded individuals who can empathize with others and lead lives of purpose and significance. Empowering students to explore a diverse array of issues and ideas on local, national, and global scales, MYP fosters creative, critical, and reflective thinking.
Unlock your potential and pave the way for future success with the MYP!
