Student Learning

 Student learning is based on three essential approaches:

1.      Intercultural awareness: Concerned with developing students' attitudes and knowledge. Student learn about their own and others' social and national cultures. It not only fosters tolerance and respect, but also leads to empathy and understanding.

2.      Holistic education: The MYP requires an approach to teaching and learning which includes and extends traditional school subjects. The program emphasizes the disciplined study of traditional subject groups. However, the areas of interaction provide the MYP's main focus for developing links between the disciplines, so that students will learn  to see knowledge as an interrelated whole.

3.      Communication: The MYP stresses the central importance of communication, verbal and non-verbal, as a vehicle to realize the aims of the program. A good command of expression in all its forms is fundamental to learning. In most MYP subject groups, communication is a key objective and assessment criterion, as it supports understanding and allows student reflection and expression.
