Why choose the MYP?

Its philosophy and objectives reflect those of the school The MYP is a truly "international" programme with no bias towards any particular national system. It provides vertical consistency across grades with the IB Diploma in grades eleven and twelve and with the Primary Years Many elements of the MYP are common to the skills required by the Diploma and developed in the PYP. It provides for horizontal coherency across subject areas The assessment within MYP subjects shares a common approach, and it has strong, linking inter-disciplinary elements It is flexible enough to allow GCS to design the curriculum to fit our students' needs The MYP does not prescribe content of subject areas, but provides a framework for their delivery Support for curriculum development is available within the existing structure of the International Baccalaureate (IB)
