Personal Project

The five areas of interaction are perspectives rather than specific subjects, and are not directly assessed nor awarded individual grades. They are indirectly assessed through the personal project, an independent piece of work that is intended to be the culmination of the student’s sustained involvement with the five areas.

The personal project allows the student to complete a significant piece of work over an extended period of time, through a process led by the student with supervision by a teacher.The choice of type of project and its topic is made by the student in consultation with one or more of the MYP teachers responsible for supervising the project’s execution according to IB-published guidelines.

The personal project must be accompanied by a document in which the
student describes the approach and the method that has been followed and provides a personal response to the issues concerned.
