Middle Years Program
The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IBMYP), grades six through ten, at Fairfield, George H. Moody, and Tuckahoe Middle Schools, as well as Henrico and J. R. Tucker High Schools, offers an advanced curriculum for motivated students who are curious about the world around them and have demonstrated an ability to achieve academically. Students are challenged to think globally and become self-directed learners, taking IBMYP courses in all eight subject areas each year of the program. Interdisciplinary instruction connects the eight IB subject areas – the Arts, Design, Individuals and Societies, Language Acquisition, Language and Literature, Mathematics, Physical and Health Education, and Sciences. The Design requirements may be integrated through other MYP core subjects in grades six through eight. The program is designed around Global Contexts, Key Concepts, and Approaches to Learning.
