Through the Middle Years Programme (MYP) projects, students experience the responsibility of completing a significant piece of work over an extended period of time.
At WAB, the MYP Personal Project is a powerful, purposeful learning experience in Grade 10. It serves as a process and showcase of student research and action. Culminating in the MYP Celebration evening, the Personal Project helps us celebrate the journey of our learners.

MYP projects encourage students to reflect on their learning and the outcomes of their work – key skills that prepare them for success in further study, the workplace and the community.
All students who complete the MYP in Year 5 complete the personal project. Schools register all MYP Year 5 students for external moderation of the personal project, promoting a global standard of quality. This means that a sample of school-assessed student project reports are sent to IB moderators.
MYP projects are student-centred and age-appropriate, and they enable students to engage in practical explorations through a cycle of inquiry, action and reflection.
What will students learn through the MYP projects?
MYP projects involve students in a wide range of activities to extend their knowledge and understanding and to develop their skills and attitudes.
These student-planned learning activities include:
As students become involved in the self-initiated and self-directed learning process, they will find it easier to construct in-depth knowledge on their topic, and develop an understanding of themselves as learners.
