Personal ProjectThe Personal Project is a culminating activity conducted by 10th grade students. (from IB website MYP Projects)
The Personal Project is a student-centered practical exploration of a topic chosen by the student. It is designed to give students the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that they have developed throughout their five MYP years. The Personal Project showcases self-management, research, communication, critical and creative thinking, and collaboration skills. (from IB website Personal Project Subject Brief) Students share their projects with the school community in a showcase each spring. The Personal Project follows the PYP Exhibition at the end of PYP in 5th grade and is followed by the Extended Essay in the Diploma Programme in 12th grade. Design |
