Explaining IB: When Will I Ever Use This? Middle Years Programme

If you are a parent, you might wonder what actually happens in an IB MYP* classroom. If you are a student, you have probably asked yourself at least once: “When am I ever going to use this?” That is exactly where our new Explaining IB series begins. In our premiere episode, Dr. Gary Bicker, MYP Coordinator and Assistant Secondary Principal, takes a closer look at the Middle Years Programme. He breaks down the core ideas behind it and explores how the MYP helps students connect what they learn in the classroom with the real world. Watch Episode 1 and step inside the MYP at PSI! 💙 *What is the MYP? Designed for students aged 11 to 16, the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme helps students connect their classroom studies directly to the real world. Rather than simply memorising facts, each unit explores big questions that are relevant to our local community while also tackling global challenges. This approach ensures students are fully prepared for the advanced academic challenges they will face in high school. *** Pechersk School International (PSI Kyiv) is a non-profit, international school that was opened in Kyiv in 1995.
