IB Middle Years Programme: Grades 7 - 11
Community Project
Community Project starts in November of year three of the MYP and finishes later that same year in April. It is meant to help students develop a greater understanding of the needs of respective communities and of the importance of service as action.
Students working alone, or in groups of two or three, create an awareness campaign or a community service initiative. This may be done within, or outside of the school.
Students are able to choose a staff member to supervise them and their work throughout the project.
The community project is done in addition to their required community service hours.
