The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

The program that is offered to the GHS middle schoolers (Grade 6 to Grade 8) is inquiry and project-based and involves learners in completing end-of-units’ performance tasks that will require them to use acquired content and approaches to learning skills. It ensures that learners become curious thinkers and problem solvers that are willing and ready to take ownership of their learning.

GHS MYP learners are expected to be active members of the community by suggesting activities and services that they would like to offer.

Our program helps them become lifelong learners by letting them participate in different learning engagements and use acquired skills that will make them future-ready. It also allows them to have multiple opportunities to practice these skills to ensure they have a smooth transition to high school.
