In the MYP curriculum model, the student is at the center. The five areas of interaction surround the student. The areas of interaction are common interactive themes embedded in the subject groups and developed naturally through them. They are also embedded in special activities and projects, but they are not subjects in their own. The areas of interaction are designed so that the student will become increasingly aware of the connection between subject content and the real world, rather than considering subjects as isolate areas unrelated to each other and to the world.
All MYPIB students are required to take 8 academic subject areas each year that they are enrolled in the program. The subject areas are:
♦ Language A: English or French (According to the section) + Arabic language
♦ Language B: Second Language (French or English- according to the section)
♦ Humanities: Social Studies: the Egyptian ministry of Education and a school program incorporating local & global issues to meet the objectives of the MYP.
♦ Sciences : Chemistry- Biology – Physics
♦ Mathematics : Algebra & Geometry
♦ The Arts: Visual Art- Performing Drama
♦ Physical Education
