THE IB MYP - DP1 BRIDGE COURSE

Some students find it hard to move from the MYP to DP because of how rigorous the studying and preparation can get in DP year 1. To guide you through the way and aid you in the process, we have introduced a summer programme which you might find helpful in ensuring a smoother transition between the grades.

The MYP (Middle Year Programme) curriculum is almost aligned at the same wavelength as DP (Diploma Programme) to ensure a smooth transition for students who continue the IB board. MYP prepares the students by helping them reflect on depth, breadth and balance. This more or less covers the characteristics of the IB program as a whole.

How will this programme benefit you?

Enrolling in the summer programme would aid the students in getting a brief idea of what the curriculum would be like in DP. Understanding a few concepts in the first unit of the subjects will give the student a headstart in terms of starting their learning journey in the DP Year 1. The summer programme is divided in a way where 25% of the course time is allotted for the MYP Bridge course and 75% of the time for the DP syllabus.
