IB Stats Elite schools around the world Only private school in Europe Not a free program US has approximately 1.4 million schools IB is 0.12% of that 1.4 million Cooper City was the 1st charter school in FL to have MYP 4 IB Programs

The MYP: is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. Students learn best when their learning experiences have context and are connected to their lives and their experience of the world that they have experienced. Using global contexts, MYP students develop an understanding of their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet.

The MYP 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, & 10th Grades Years 1 – 5 MYP was created in 1994 MYP grew out of the work and vision of practicing teachers in school across the globe.

MYP Global Context In a world of increasing interconnection and complexity, learning in context provides students with opportunities to explore multiple dimensions of meaningful challenges facing young people in the world today, encouraging them to develop creative solution and understanding. The MYP encourage teachers to design units around a range of ideas and issues that are personally, locally, nationally, international, and globally significant.

MYP Global Context Scientific & technical innovation – How the world works Globalization & sustainability – How we organize ourselves Fairness & development – Sharing the planet Identities & relationships – Who we are Personal & cultural expression – How we express ourselves Orientation in space & time – Where we are in place & time

Learner Profiles The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people, who recognize their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world.
