How do students benefit?

Because the five Areas of Interaction are woven throughout every MYP subject, all students participate in a process of learning that helps them see and understand the connections between what they study in school and what they have experienced in their lives.

By examining this inter-relatedness, students develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills embodied in questions such as:

● Why did that happen?● What do I think about this, based on what I already know?● What effect does this event have on what I have learned in my other courses?● How could a different result be produced by different actions?

Through the process of asking questions, seeking answers, and making connections, all students in the MYP can learn:

● Good study and test-taking skills● Good writing and communication skills● Competence in using information technology● Sound decision-making processes● Principles of ethical reasoning● Physical and mental balance● Personal commitment to action, service, and responsible citizenship● Respect for the views, values, and traditions of others● Confidence to explore new roles, ideas, and strategies

All students also benefit because the MYP requires the teaching staff of JBS to:

● Meet regularly to share and refine their approaches to teaching

● Attend IB trainings with teachers from around the world

● Design interdisciplinary projects

As a result of this coordination, JBS Primary School and JBS Middle School are integrated in a relationship that creates a seamless KG to 10th grade programme.
