==Overview==
{{anchor|New chapter}}
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 this by 2019 had transitioned into MYP.
{{anchor|Participation}}
In order to officially participate in an official IB Middle Years Programme, students must attend an authorised IB World School.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibo.org/ibna/parents_students/generalfaq.cfm#f|work=ibo.org|title=General FAQ|access-date=2009-07-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090904131549/http://www.ibo.org/ibna/parents_students/generalfaq.cfm#f|archive-date=2009-09-04|url-status=dead}}</ref> In the U.S., the MYP is often taught throughout middle school and the first two years of high school. Typically, middle schools and high schools work in coordination with each other.<ref name=FCNP2016>{{citation|title=F.C.'s 4 Principals Share Passion For IB Program With School Board|date=10 May 2016|first=Nicholas F.|last=Benton|newspaper=Falls Church News-Press|url=https://fcnp.com/2016/05/10/f-c-s-4-principals-share-passion-for-ib-program-with-school-board/|access-date=1 August 2016}}</ref>
A student receives at least 50 hours of instruction per year in each of eight subject groups each year though certain flexibility is permitted to reduce this to six during the final two years.The full programme lasts five years although shorter programmes, of two, three, or four years, could be negotiated in 2016.
===School structure===
The focus is on the learner, but this is achieved by adopting a IB approach to teaching and leadership. Pedagogy is advanced by adopting the inquiry, action and reflection cycle. MYP:New chapter looks to schools to cooperatively plan the taught curriculum, blur the subject divides, for individual teachers to share their lesson plans across the school and schools. Teachers work with librarians to ensure the vertical and horizontal planning, and
The school commits to ongoing IB teacher trainings.

===Community service===
A core part of IB MYP is [[community service]]. The community and service area requires students to study and perform community studies and service throughout the programme.
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}}</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}}</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}}</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===
Line 94 ⟶ 95:
Schools can choose the subjects they teach within each subject group and how many. However, each subject group must receive a minimum of 50 hours of curriculum time each academic year. In years 4 and 5, schools can request to only require students to receive 50 hours of instruction in six of the eight subject groups.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Curriculum | url = http://www.ibo.org/programmes/middle-years-programme/curriculum/|website = International Baccalaureate | access-date = 2016-01-08}}</ref>
A student could take another "Language and Literature" course if they have sufficient proficiency in both (In MYP years 4&5 this could replace the Language Acquisition course). Schools are given much flexibility to allow them to introduce subjects they consider important and organize their own student [[Educational assessment|assessment]] and reporting procedures.
However, the MYP gives clear criteria for each subject group. The criteria get progressively harder with the first year of MYP using the MYP 1 criteria set, then the second and third year using the MYP 3 criteria set and finally the last two years using the MYP 5 criteria set.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} Each year, MYP students participate in one interdisciplinary activity that combines at least two of the subject groups; there is a separate criteria set for interdisciplinary learning.

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 lowest achievement and 7 the highest achievement.
