SEVEN PEAKS SCHOOL MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAM OF INQUIRY (POI)

The Middle Years Program (MYP) is for ages 11 to 16. The program is designed to create learners who apply their knowledge to real-world situations. Our program is organized around six global contexts. The teachers also ensure that state and national standards are also worked into the curriculum through the lens of the global contexts. The curriculum is made up of 8 subject groups listed below, providing a balanced education. 

• Language & Literature

• Design

• Language Acquisition

• Science

• Physical health & Education 

• Math

• Individuals & Societies 

• Arts

The MYP framework provides structures for students to learn in an inquiry based environment. Inquiry-based learning emphasizes teaching methods that incorporate students’ individual knowledge and interests. It gives each student a seat at the table to construct their own meaning that is relevant to themselves and take ownership of their learning.

SEVEN PEAKS AND WORLD LEADERSHIP SCHOOL

As an IB World School, the Seven Peaks MYP incorporates a travel component that rounds out our comprehensive approach to inquiry based learning. The travel program is designed to complement the skills learned in the classroom through an immersive travel experience each of the three years in middle school, culminating with an international trip in the spring of the 8th grade year. Rather than stand-alone trips, each trip is thoughtfully crafted to be an integral part of the curricular progression for each of the three years.

Seven Peaks has partnered with World Leadership School so that the trips are led by educators experienced with travel and learning in each of the locations visited. Seven Peaks faculty accompany the students to provide the continuity in instruction and relationships necessary for a seamless learning experience from school to destination and then back to school again.
