The MYP aims to develop students who are:
- Active learners
- Internationally minded
- Able to empathize with others

As part of the IB continuum, the MYP is designed to help students develop the characteristics of the IB learner profile . It offers students opportunities to:

- reflect on, and develop, a strong sense of personal identity.
At a time when students are establishing their identity and building their self-esteem, the MYP can motivate students and help them to achieve success in school and in life beyond the classroom.
