Middle Years Program
What is the Middle Years Program?
We are currently a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (MYP). This means, in addition to the Diploma Program or Career-related Programme that students are involved in at grades 11 and 12, we provide the IB MYP for all 9th and 10th grade students at Thomas J. Corcoran High School. The Middle Years Program is designed to not only prepare students for success in the Diploma Program and post secondary studies but to immerse students in highly engaging inquiry-based learning in all subject areas in grades 9 and 10.
MYP Personal Project
The MYP personal project is an independent project completed by 10th graders through a cycle of inquiry, action and reflection. This long-term project is designed as an independent learning experience of approximately 25 hours of process journaling.
The students will complete the following:
- investigate individual interests and pursue personal passions
- develop and apply specific approaches to learning (ATL) skills
- explore their work as part of a meaningful global context.
The dues date for this project is March 1st. Please contact Ms. Gibbons at jgibbons@scsd.us, MYP Personal Project Coordinator or Ms. Malley-Donovan at cmalle94@scsd.us, MYP Coordinator.
