IB Middle Years Program

IB MYP 1-5,  11 TO 16 YEARS OLD

Whether you are coming from the Ermitage bilingual program, another international school, a local school in France, or abroad, you can find your place in the Middle Years Program at Ermitage. The IB MYP framework focuses on engaging each student in inquiry as they gain the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the Diploma Program.

The IB MYP Experience

IB academic standards and requirements are challenging and rigorous, but at Ermitage, our focus is on the whole student. This holistic IB approach means every MYP student feels involved, understood and motivated. Throughout their course of study, our IB Middle Years students grow a strong sense of self, develop an intercultural understanding of the world and flourish into skilled communicators. Students are encouraged to ask questions, take action and lead. Giving our MYP students a safe place to express themselves, gain knowledge and grow as individuals leads to extraordinary results and extraordinary futures.

The IB Middle Years Program

As complete and academically demanding as any international curriculum, the Middle Years Program at Ermitage distinguishes itself through authentic learning experiences and an interdisciplinary approach. Projects throughout the MYP program require self-directed inquiry, in-depth understanding and effective communication. This culminates in the Personal Project in MYP year 5, which is an opportunity for students to explore an area of personal interest, consolidate their learning and take pride in their work.
