The Middle Years Programme (MYP) provides a framework of academic challenges and life skills. The MYP is structured around eight subject areas: Language A (English), Language B (Japanese), Humanities, Technology, Mathematics, Arts (Visual Art/Music), Sciences and Physical Education.  The MYP recognizes the importance of respecting the independence and integrity of each discipline while accentuating the interrelatedness of these subject areas.

Integrated with the eight core subjects are five Areas of Interaction (AoI) which are tools used to help make connection between the eight subject areas. The areas of interaction are: Environments; Human Ingenuity; Health and Social Education; Community and Service; and Approaches to Learning (ATL).

Towards the end of the MYP, students are involved in a culminating experience, the MYP Personal Project Exhibition in which Grade 10 students plan and present a project to the school community to demonstrate what they have learned during their years in the MYP.

The MYP provides students with discipline, skills and challenging standards, but also with creativity and flexibility. The program is also concerned that students develop a personal value system by which to guide their own lives, as thoughtful members of local communities and the larger world.
