Middle Years Programme
Middle Years Programme
The curriculum the school is implementing is the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IBMYP). Westlake Academy began implementing the IBMYP in August 2004, and gained authorization to offer the IB Middle Years Programme in July 2007.
The program is one that offers a truly global and holistic approach in its delivery with a highly dedicated, cohesive and qualified teaching staff. Westlake Academy's goal is to add an additional grade for each year of the program (Grades 7, 8, 9 & 10) and to have the students prepared for the International Baccalaureate Diploma program (Grades 11 & 12), with our first graduating class in 2010.
The International Baccalaureate is an organization that has grown in stature since its introduction over five decades ago. The IB Diploma is the most prestigious high school diploma in the world. It is the only diploma recognized internationally. More than 400 colleges and universities in the United States provide admission, scholarships and advanced placement opportunities for IB students. Although there are certain similarities with the AP program, the IB Diploma offers a more rounded program of studies.
The Middle Years staff at Westlake Academy has great confidence in the students, the facilities, the program and the support from parents and the administration, in order to implement the IB Middle Years Program successfully over the course of the next four years.
