IB Middle Years Programme at OIS
Oak International School is an IB Middle Year Programme (MYP) Candidate School which is working with the IB for Authorization to fully implement the MYP. “The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
The IB programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.”
The Middle Years Programme (MYP) at OIS is designed for our middle school students aged 11 – 16. It allows them to use big ideas and real world contexts to develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes that are vital for future success in both academic programmes and as global citizens.
To meet the needs of our international community, OIS MYP provides a balanced yet rigorous education, which facilitates geographic and cultural mobility and promotes the concepts of responsibility and international understanding.
The programme offers high-quality learning which is social and experiential in nature; it sparks students’ curiosity and stimulates their natural creativity; it inspires them to strive for excellence, and to take ownership of their own inquiry and research, and it shapes the learner and the learning community, nurturing growth and new understanding.
Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), or the Diploma Programme (and in addition the IB Careers Programme). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
