PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME at AIS

I opted for AIS mainly due to the quality and curriculum. The IB curriculum promotes concept-based learning, rather than typical textbook-based learning. But the quality is not merely an outcome of the selection of curriculum. The real determinants of the quality of education are the teachers, school admin and the whole school staff with their duties and responsibilities. In good company and under the supervision of such staff, students tend to build strong ties with education. And I am happy to say I have experienced this well with my child. Besides the quality of education, it is also the affordability. And AIS has offered us optimum benefits. I am happy to be a part of the AIS Family.

MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMME at AIS

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) is designed for students aged 11 to 16. It focuses on “learning how to learn” through the systematic development of approaches to learning (ATL) skills for communication, collaboration, organisation, self-management, reflection, research, informational literacy, media literacy, creative and critical thinking, and transfer of learning. It also fosters intercultural understanding and global engagement essential qualities for young people today.

Students in MYP1 - 3 study from eight subject groups. MYP4 & 5, students have more flexibility in their subject choices. Some of these choices include specialising in particular subject groups.

Interdisciplinary

The more students can view one subject from various other lenses, the more fruitful their connections can be. Every year each student from MYP1 - 3 participates in at least one additional interdisciplinary unit between two subject groups.

MYP3 Community Project

The Community Project in MYP3 sees students develop an awareness of the needs of a community and implement a plan to address those needs.

MYPX

Finally, MYP5 students culminate the Middle Years Programme by celebrating the power of learning through the MYP Exhibition (MYPX). Their Personal Project works are showcased where students use all the skills they learned throughout the MYP that will be necessary for the next stages of their education.
