MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAMME

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) is a globally recognized framework for students in grades 6 — 10 that encourages our students to become creative, critical, and reflective thinkers. At Bowman, the MYP builds on the curiosity, independence, and sense of responsibility that students cultivate throughout their years at Bowman.

Students in the MYP develop greater confidence and independence in managing their learning while connecting classroom experiences to the world around them. They also demonstrate strong critical academic skills, experience success in the IB Diploma Programme, and thrive in learning environments where they are engaged and motivated. Through the programme, students develop an understanding of global challenges and a commitment to responsible citizenship; a reflection of Bowman's values.

The MYP places students at the center of learning, encouraging them to explore big ideas, make connections across subjects, and apply their learning to the real world. Through interdisciplinary work and inquiry, students develop Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills which help students become increasingly independent learners. These skills include: critical thinking, communication, research, self-management, and social skills.
