IB Middle Years Programme: Grades 7 - 11

Personal Project

Personal Project starts in March of year four of the MYP and finishes in February of year five.

Each student develops a Personal Project independently, producing a truly personal piece of work that functions as a summative assessment of their ability to work within the framework of the MYP.

Students are able to choose a staff member to supervise them and their work throughout the project.

Students must successfully complete the personal project in order to graduate from the Middle Years Programme.
