Welcome to the Personal Project!

The Personal Project is a mandatory project in year 5 (grade 10) of the Middle Years Programme. This culminating example of inquiry reflects a student's ability to initiate, manage and direct their own learning. It is an opportunity for students to explore a topic of interest, to develop approaches to learning skills and to create something uniquely meaningful.

The Personal Project is composed of five parts:

1. Investigating

2. Planning

3. Taking Action

4. Reflecting

5. Celebration of IB

The Personal Project is:

• Completed over an extended period of time (about 5 months)

• An original piece of work that allows for personal voice and choice

• An opportunity to better understand the Approaches to Learning

• A demonstration of the inquiry skills and disciplinary knowledge gained over the Middle Years Programme

• An opportunity to reflect on learning and critical thought
