Middle Years Programme (MYP) | Bishop Mackenzie International School

Middle Years

A programme designed for transformative years.

Our Middle School curriculum offers academic rigor and prioritizes a holistic view of learning, where students develop themselves as critical thinkers, artists, athletes, and friends.

This program is for students between the ages of 11 and 16 years. Being a critical phase in most students’ lives, this age requires a program that can help students to develop the knowledge and skills that are essential during challenging times. The program focuses on five areas of interaction that are approaches to Learning, Community and Service, Human Ingenuity, Environment and Health, and Social Education.

Advisory, service learning, electives, and co-curricular activities help students grow with confidence, independence, and global awareness.
