MYP in High School (Grade 9 and Grade 10)

This is another unique characteristic of the MYP.

• All mainstream students must do a Personal Project.
• The Global Contexts and Approches to Learning (ATL) are central to its completion.
• It is a significant body of work produced over several months, towards the end of the 5-year program.
• Students may select their own topic or theme — one about which they are enthusiastic — and show commitment to the completion of their own project.
• The project can take many forms, e.g. an original piece of art, a piece of literary fiction, an original Science experiment, an invention.

This is considered to be the culminating assessment of the program.

All students will receive an MYP Course Result from IB for their MYP Personal Project at the end of Grade 10.

The IB has set the aims and objectives for 8 different Curriculum Areas. These are the MYP subjects taught in High School based on the Curriculum Areas:

For MYP purposes, teachers at OFS will assess student performance against IB prescribed assessment criteria for each curriculum area. These criteria assess the aims and objectives of the curriculum area.

At the end of each academic year in Grade 9 and Grade 10, students and parents may view an online OFS Statement of MYP Results, based on the development of skills in each MYP subject and showing the MYP level (0-8) for each criterion.

Within the OFS semester report cards, students will also receive a comment on their Approaches to Learning (ATLs).

• International-mindedness
