Middle Years Program of SEKOLAH PELITA HARAPAN

An International Style of Education
The International Baccalaureate Organization's (IBO), Middle Years Program (MYP) provides a framework of academic challenge and life skills development for students aged twelve to sixteen years old. The four-year program offers an educational approach that embraces, yet transcends, traditional school subjects. It follows naturally from the Primary Years Program and serves as an excellent preparation for the rigors of study in the IB Diploma in Grade 11 and 12.

Students at this stage - early puberty to mid-adolescence - are in a particularly critical phase of personal and intellectual development. This can be time of uncertainty, sensitivity, resistance, and questioning. As such, an educational program needs to provide students not only with discipline, skills, and challenging standards, but also with creativity and flexibility. The IBO builds its program around these considerations and also a concern that students develop a personal value system by which to guide their own lives, as thoughtful members of local communities and the larger world.
