How do Students Benefit from the IB MYP?
Because the five Areas of Interaction are woven throughout every MYP subject, all students participate in a process of learning that helps them see and understand the connections between what they study in school and what they have experienced in their lives.

By examining this inter-relatedness, students develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills embodied in questions such as:

• Why did that happen?
• What do I think about this, based on what I already know?
• What effect does this event have on what I have learned in my other courses?
• How could a different result be produced by different actions?

Through the process of asking questions, seeking answers, and making connections, all students in the MYP can learn:

• Good study and test-taking skills
• Good writing and communication skills
• Competence in using information technology
• Sound decision-making processes
• Principles of ethical reasoning
• Physical and mental balance
• Personal commitment to action, service, and responsible citizenship
• Respect for the views, values, and traditions of others
• Confidence to explore new roles, ideas, and strategies

All students also benefit because the MYP requires the teaching staff of UT to:

• Meet regularly to share and refine their approaches to teaching
• Attend IB trainings with teachers from around the world
• Design interdisciplinary projects

As a result of this coordination, UT Primary School and UT Middle School are integrated in a relationship that creates a seamless 6th - 10th grade programme.
