IBMYP Appropriateness to Young Adolescents

The IBMYP recognizes that students of this age group are in a particularly critical phase of personal and intellectual development. It recognizes that young adolescence is a time of uncertainty, sensitivity, resistance and questioning.

The IBMYP seeks to provide young adolescents with an educational program that offers structure, skills and challenging standards, but also creativity and flexibility. The IBMYP also strives to help students develop their own personal value system that will guide their own lives as thoughtful members of local and global communities.
