MYP Learning and Teaching Exhibition 2025
“To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.” - Leonardo da Vinci
In the MYP, interdisciplinary learning is not just about recognising links between subjects, it’s about using those links to build new understanding and take purposeful action. This year’s MYP Learning and Teaching Exhibition held on April 30th, 2025, highlighted how learners have to:
• evaluate how more than one discipline contributes to their understanding of real-world issues and ideas.
• integrate knowledge from more than one discipline in ways that inform inquiry into real-world issues and ideas, in order to explain phenomena or create a product.
• reflect on the development of their interdisciplinary understanding of real-world issues and ideas.
Each grade-level interactive presentation showed how students brought together their learning to tackle authentic challenges:
• Grade 6 students used Math and PHE to design and analyze personalized fitness plans.
• Grade 7 students integrated Science and PHE to further investigate the role of personal choice on overall health and wellbeing.
• Grade 8 students demonstrated strong collaboration skills and combined Arts and Design perspectives for their performance of Into the Woods Jr.
• Grade 9 students investigated cultural identity’s impact on our decision-making through Thai and Chinese cultural perspectives.
• Grade 10 students examined our relationship with resources and nature through I&S and English.
Through interdisciplinary learning students become more flexible thinkers, deeper inquirers, and more creative communicators. This approach prepares them for the kinds of problems and possibilities they will encounter in an interconnected world.
