Knowledge as a whole

WELCOME TO OUR IB MIDDLE SCHOOL IN CHENGDU

In our IB Middle Years Programme (IBMYP), our students study a range of international baccalaureate middle years subjects. This empowers them to become aware of the relevance of their learning and see the similar and complementary aspects of various disciplines or fields of study to see knowledge as an interrelated whole. This is not to the detriment of learning within the disciplines, which retain their own objectives and methodologies

THE IBMYP AND INTERCULTURAL AWARENESS 

The IBMYP emphasizes intercultural awareness, concerned with developing students’ attitudes, knowledge, and skills as they learn about their own culture and others’ cultures. By encouraging our students to consider multiple perspectives, intercultural awareness goes beyond fostering tolerance to developing respect and empathy.

COMMUNICATION

The MYP emphasises communication as a fundamental part of learning, as it supports inquiry and understanding and allows for reflection and expression. The MYP places particular emphasis on language acquisition and encourages our students to explore multiple forms of expression.

INQUIRY-BASED PROCESSES

The MYP values an inquiry - based process, where our students learn more about themselves by exploring their interests. During Year 9, our students will complete a Community Project to help another school or their local community. During Year 11, our students complete a Personal Project - an integral requirement of the programme - on a topic they are passionate about. Both projects are developed in a yearlong process through guided learning, and our students complete an extended report and presentation to the school community.
