Che cos’è il IB Middle Years Programme?

La Scuola internazionale d Bologna fornisce agli studenti tra gli 11 ed i 16 anni un corso di studi che si basa sull’IB Middle Years Programme. Il programma offre agli studenti un ambiente stimolante dal punto di vista accademico, incoraggiandoli a comprendere i collegamenti tra le materie tradizionali ed il mondo reale, sviluppando così la capacità di pensare in modo critico e riflessivo.

Il curriculum

The programme consists of eight subject groups integrated through five areas of interaction that provide a framework for learning within and across the subjects. Students are required to study their mother tongue, a second language, humanities, sciences, mathematics, arts, physical education and technology. In the final year of the programme, students also engage in a personal project, which allows them to demonstrate the understandings and skills they have developed throughout the programme.

Assessment

Assessment is criterion-related, so students around the world are measured against pre-specified criteria for each subject group. Teachers may modify these criteria to be age-appropriate in the earlier years of the programme. Teachers set assessment tasks that are assessed internally in the school. External checks (either moderation or monitoring of assessment by IB examiners) are carried out on this internal assessment to ensure worldwide consistency of standards.
