The IMYC is our International Middle Years Curriculum for children aged 11 - 14 years old. It is used in over 140 schools in over 50 countries worldwide.
It is a challenging, internationally minded and concept-focused curriculum, which helps develop engaged and active learners. With specific subject and personal learning goals, it provides a clear structure to develop knowledge, skills and understanding whilst making subject learning more connected.
Schools can work towards becoming IMYC accredited by using the rigorous self-review process that forms part of the IMYC membership. We also offer joint accreditation with the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
Our schools have found the self-review process has provided a useful framework for making improvements and for implementing the IMYC in general.
Become an IMYC schoolWe believe schools would be able to use the [self-review] document for school improvement plans because the document is about best practices, not prescription. The rubrics and suggestions for evidence are as such: guidance for support and suggestions. This broadens the utility of the document beyond accreditation to a framework of best practice in education."
The IMYC is a research-led, engaging curriculum helping us to have ultimately happy, motivated, students who engage in deep learning, and develop the skills of reflection and metacognition.”
