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:
Investigating
Planning
Taking Action
Reflecting
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
