IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) Overview
Our Years 7 to 9 students follow the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), offering a challenging and practical learning framework that supports students' transition and integration into the secondary school community, building a solid foundation of critical thinking and global mindedness for the middle and senior years.
Guided by our core values—Be Curious, Be Responsible, Be Inclusive, and Be Generous—we nurture inquiry, self-confidence, and open-mindedness. Our students develop into creative thinkers and compassionate individuals who aspire to make a positive impact on their communities.
The MYP curriculum is concept- and skills-based, encouraging students to connect their learning to real-world scenarios while preparing them for an ever-changing landscape. Our diverse curriculum, led by dedicated staff, allows students to explore new passions and develop essential skills.
Community service is integral to the MYP, culminating in the Year 9 Community Project, where students collaborate to address local issues. This project not only develops empathy but also fosters a sense of social responsibility.
Additionally, we prioritise holistic development by offering a wide range of extracurricular activities, from sports to the arts, that complement academic learning. These programmes encourage teamwork, resilience, and leadership, further preparing students as they progress to I/GCSE courses and the IB Diploma or Careers Programme in Years 12 and 13.
At Sha Tin College, we are committed to creating well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also equipped with the values and skills necessary to thrive in a global society. We look forward to supporting our students on their educational journeys, ensuring they leave as confident, compassionate, and capable global citizens.
