Middle Years Programme (MYP):

As a continuum to the IB PYP, Choithram International offers the IBMYP program for students in the age group of 11 to 16. MYP is a coherent and comprehensive curriculum framework that provides academic challenge and develops the life skills of students.

MYP fundamental concepts:
The MYP been guided by three principles holistic learning, intercultural awareness and communication. These fundamental concepts of the programme provide a strong foundation for teaching and learning in the MYP.

IB philosophy in the MYP
The programme has been developed with developmentally-appropriate attention to:

• Conceptual understanding
• Teaching and learning in context
• Approaches to learning (ATL): Prime focus on developing skills
• Service as action (community service)
• Language and identity
• Learning diversity and inclusion.

Personal Project:

All students at CI must complete the personal project, starting in the MYP year 4 and finishing by MYP 5. The personal project provides an excellent opportunity for students to produce a truly personal and often creative product/outcome and to demonstrate a consolidation of their learning in the MYP. Each student develops a personal project independently.

Service as action in MYP:

Action (learning by doing and experiencing) is an essential component of the learning process at CI both as part of the programme’s educational philosophy and as a practical outcome of students’ learning.

At CI we make it mandatory for the students to do a school initiated service activity, a unit driven service activity and a self initiated service activity.

 Fulfillment of the school’s expectations for participation in community service is a requirement of the school as well as of IB MYP certificate. To know more view the service website.Click Here
