In 2014, the International Baccalaureate Organisation introduced a new more flexible programme for the middle years, which was then called the '''MYP: Next Chapter''', but thisthough by 2019, it had transitioned into MYP.<ref name="Claremont 2017">{{cite web |last1=Azzem |first1=Tarek |title=MYP New Chapter Evaluation Report 2017 |url=https://ibo.org/globalassets/publications/ib-research/myp/myp-evaluation-report-2017-en.pdf |publisher=Claremont Graduate University |access-date=26 December 2020 |date=2017 |archive-date=19 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220419213443/https://ibo.org/globalassets/publications/ib-research/myp/myp-evaluation-report-2017-en.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> ItThe wasIB possibleMYP does not specifically prescribe a curriculum in most subjects in order to embedenable the embedding of local curriculum in the framework.

===Learner profile===

At the centre of the MYP is the '''IB Learner Profile''', which defines the type of students all the IB programmes ([[Primary Years Programme]] (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and [[Diploma Programme]] (DP)) are intended to develop.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibo.org/globalassets/publications/recognition/myprecognitionbrochurerevdec2013.pdf|title=The Middle Years Programme|website=Ibo.org|access-date=6 December 2017|archive-date=10 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220210133358/https://www.ibo.org/globalassets/publications/recognition/myprecognitionbrochurerevdec2013.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> They are:

===Global Contexts===

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>

The Global Contexts should be linked to every topic taught in class and every assessment they set.

The Global Contexts are as follows:

===Personal Project===

The "Personal Project" is a culmination of student learning, withand is a focusyear-long ofproject completed in the areasfinal year of interactionthe 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, whichthat theyis are expectedpersona to complete over the course of the school yearthem. Students are required to keep a ''personal journal'' while working on the process, and schedule regular meetings with an MYP 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 ismakes assessedup the final grade, which focuses on planning the project, applying approaches to learning skills (ATL skills), and reflecting.
