The curriculum contains eight groups of subjects that make up the outer circle: Mathematics, Science, Language and Literature (Spanish and English), Language Learning (German), Art (Music, Visual Arts, Performing Arts), Design (Digital and Product Design), People and Society (Geography and History), Physical Education and Health. There are two concentric rings around the students that represent the most important requirements and aspects in the MYP’s teaching-learning process.
The MYP places the student at the centre of a curricular model because his or her development is, naturally, the central focus of the educational work. Learning to learn and to evaluate information critically is as important as learning the contents of the course subjects themselves. This period, which includes the early and middle stages of adolescence, is a particularly critical time for personal and intellectual development and, as a result, calls for a programme that helps students to appreciate and understand the connections between traditional subjects and the real world, as well as helping them to become critical thinkers with the ability to think for themselves. This is an international educational programme that was set up to help students develop the knowledge, understanding, attitude and skills that are needed to take an active and responsible role in a changing world. The proposal put forth by the IBO for ages 11 to 16 is known as the Middle Years Programme (MYP).
