There are six '''Global Contexts''' (GCs) which are applied to every unit of every course the student takes. They are designed to help students recognise the connection between what they learn in the classroom and the world around them, to tie the various subject areas together, and eventually to help students "see knowledge as an interrelated, coherent whole."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibo.org/programmes/middle-years-programme/curriculum/|work=ibo.org|title=IB MYP curriculum|access-date=2017-01-25|archive-date=2017-01-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170109030742/http://ibo.org/programmes/middle-years-programme/curriculum/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Community service===
A core part of IB MYP is [[community service]], also known as Service as Action (SaA)., Theor communityCommunity andEngagement. service areaThis requires students to study and performundergo community studies and service throughout the programme.
Some schools and districts either require or highly encourage a set number of hours of community service to be completed by each student, while other schools may require students to complete the "Community Project" for students to complete the programme during Year 3 or 4.
For example, in the United States, some schools and districts, like the [[Upper St. Clair School District]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uscsd.k12.pa.us/page/239|title=International Baccalaureate / MYP Community Service|website=www.uscsd.k12.pa.us|language=en|access-date=2018-09-20|archive-date=2018-09-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920195606/https://www.uscsd.k12.pa.us/page/239|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Montgomery County Public Schools (Maryland)]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/bcchs/academics/middleyears/comservice.aspx|title=Community and Service|website=www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org|language=en|access-date=2018-09-20|archive-date=2018-09-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920195755/https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/bcchs/academics/middleyears/comservice.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref> either require or highly encourage a set number of hours of community service to be completed by each student, while schools like [[Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://schools.cms.k12.nc.us/piedmontMS/Pages/Default.aspx|title=Piedmont Open IB Middle School|website=schools.cms.k12.nc.us|language=en-US|access-date=2018-09-20|archive-date=2018-09-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180920195915/http://schools.cms.k12.nc.us/piedmontMS/Pages/Default.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> and [[Round Rock Independent School District]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://grisham.roundrockisd.org/8th-grade-community-project/|title=8th Grade Community Project {{!}} Grisham Middle School|website=grisham.roundrockisd.org|language=en-US|access-date=2018-09-20}}</ref> require students to complete the "Community Project" for students to complete the programme during Year 3 or 4.
===Personal Project===
The "Personal Project" is a culmination of student learning, and is a year-long project completed in the final year of the MYP. Just as with the [[extended essay]] in the [[IB Diploma Programme]], students are required to choose an academic or non-academic topic subject for their project that is personapersonal to them. Students are required to keep a journal while working on the process, and schedule regular meetings with an MYPa teacher who will serve as their supervisor for the project throughout the year. While students should aim to complete a product for their project, this is not assessed. Instead, students must write a 15-page final report that makes up the final grade, which focuses on planning the project, applying approaches to learning skills (ATL skills), and reflecting. If candidates are aiming to achieve the MYP certificate, they must achieve at least 3 out of 7 for their Personal Project report.
==Curricular framework==
* Physical and health education, Arts, or Design
* The MYP Personal project
Within each area, the subject with the highest score, on the scale of 1 to 7 is counted, the results will be tallied to create a total out of 56. The pass mark is 28 and the candidate must meet the Service andas ActionsAction requirements set by the school.<ref name="ibo2">{{cite web|url=http://www.ibo.org/programmes/middle-years-programme/assessment-and-exams/assessment-from-2016/grading-and-awards/|title=Grading and awards - International Baccalaureate|publisher=ibo.org|access-date=2016-07-27|archive-date=2016-08-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160801114757/http://www.ibo.org/programmes/middle-years-programme/assessment-and-exams/assessment-from-2016/grading-and-awards/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The scores of the four criteria are added up and converted to a grade out of seven. This grade is meant to demonstrate the student's overall ability in the subject, with 1 being the highest achievement and 7 the lowest achievement. In eAssessment, these boundaries are determined by the International Baccalaureate.
