The MYP is a challenging framework that encourages students to make practical connections between their studies and the real world. The MYP curriculum framework comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad and balanced education for early adolescents. There is a strong emphasis throughout the MYP on developing personal responsibility and service. In the final year of the MYP students embark on a culminating project that enables them to pursue personal interests while applying and demonstrating areas of learning.

The DP aims to develop students who have excellent breadth and depth of knowledge – students who flourish physically, intellectually, emotionally and ethically. The DP curriculum model is made up of six subject groups and the DP core, comprising theory of knowledge (TOK), creativity, activity, service (CAS) and the extended essay. Through the program students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service.
