The MYP is a coherent and comprehensive curriculum which provides a framework of academic challenge and life skills appropriate to children aged 11-16. This is a crucial period of personal, social and intellectual development, of uncertainty & questioning. The MYP is designed to guide students in their search for a sense of place in the natural & social environment.

The MYP provides learning in a broad base of disciplines to ensure that students acquire the knowledge and skills to participate effectively in life in the twenty-first century. In so doing, learning how to learn and how to evaluate information critically is an important as the content of the disciplines themselves. It emphasizes the development of the whole child: affective, cognitive, creative, and physical. The IBO is keenly interested in the development of ethics and values in young people that students develop a personal value system by which to guide their own lives as decent and thoughtful members of local communities and the world beyond.

Introducing the MYP is a major undertaking, but we feel it is essential for the IBMYP does not only:

• focuses on a strong study skills and research program;
• prepares students for advanced program (International Baccalaureate)in highSchool
• promotes intercultural and global approaches to learning;

but also it allows us to work closely with other international Schools. It gives us a flexible curriculum which we can adapt to our own students here in Egypt. We are able to device a very strict assessment procedure that incorporates written, oral research, presentation and personal skills. All that we do will be moderated by the IBO so our high standards will be maintained.

Green Land International School feels that by offering the complete IB continuum, we not only offer the best possible education to our students, we also prepare them for university and personal success in the future.
