📋Personal Project

The Personal Project is a large, independent project that students undertake at the end of their MYP course. This is a project for you to create and present what is of personal interest to you. This is your project to do what you would like to do, and a chance to demonstrate the understanding and skills you have developed throughout the MYP. The project itself should be based on an area of interest or personal passion where you can apply and demonstrate your learning. Through the process of inquiry, action and reflection, students are encouraged to demonstrate and strengthen their ATL skills.

The aims of the Personal Project are to encourage and enable you to:

• inquire

  • explore an interest that is personally meaningful

  • take ownership of their learning by undertaking a self-directed inquiry

• act

  • transfer and apply skills in pursuit of a learning goal and the creation of a product

• reflect

  • recognize and evidence personal growth and development

The Personal Project includes the following main parts:

• A written report

• A product

• An exhibition

You are expected to spend a minimum of 25 hours on their personal project.
