Utahloy students are supporting those less
fortunate in the local and global communities.
At UISG, the MYP is part of an educational
continuum that emphasises concepts, ideas and
issues that cross disciplinary, cultural,
national and geographical boundaries. Within a
coherent, comprehensive curriculum framework, the
MYP provides academic challenge and encourages
development of life skills on which students rely
throughout the course of independent,
purpose-driven lives.

Middle Years Programme (MYP) At UISG, we provide
the best possible education for our students. The
IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), for students
aged 11 to 16, is designed as an inclusive
programme that links clearly with our Primary
Years Programme (PYP) and the Diploma Programme
(DP). The MYP is at the forefront of education
because it includes

1. Rigorous learning objectives
2. A student-centred approach to teaching
   international perspectives
3. Concern for the whole child
4. Sustained teaching and learning in more than one
   language
5. A focus on learning how to learn
6. The development of flexible thinking that
   prepares students to evaluate information
   critically and apply knowledge in complex,
   unfamiliar situations

Middle School students at UISG study eight
subject groups including English, Mathematics,
Science, Individuals and Societies, Design,
Visual Arts, Physical and Health Education, and
usually two further languages. Languages are
highly regarded in our school and their
development is actively encouraged. UISG is
renowned within the international educational
community as having one of the best mother tongue
programmes, oering seven dierent languages
5
Recently, the MYP has updated the curriculum and
assessment practices. UISG has refined its
programme to reflect the most recent educational
practices, including the MYP eAssessments. These
assessments provide external evaluation for
students in Year 10 (1516 years old) and lead to
the internationally recognised IB MYP
Certificate.

To complement the highest standards of education,
taught by highly qualified sta, there is a very
strong community, action and service commitment
at UISG. This helps our students to apply their
knowledge in wider settings. We provide
opportunities for volunteer and charity work,
local and overseas study tours, and membership
for internationally recognized clubs. Students
at UISG have travelled to Cambodia to support the
disadvantaged through the Hopeful Hearts
programme.

At UISG, we promote the transfer of information
conceptually so that information can be used from
subject to subject, as well as the appropriate
processing any information, specifically, in
individual subject areas. This enables our
students to become more proficient in new and
challenging circumstances, inside and outside of
school. The students are able to demonstrate this
in the Year Group Camps and Service and Action
projects they are involved in. These include
service camps in Hainan, Zengcheng, Rongshui and
Sichuan. Skill development, in tandem with
building knowledge, is the key to learning in the
MYP as this prepares students better for an ever
changing world. Essential skills are integral to
our curriculum and include the ability to
research, manage time, work in and with a variety
of media and extend their communication skills.
8
Integrating Action and Service into our daily
school activities shows that UISG students can
contribute positively to our community. Our
students are able to apply, practise and develop
their skills and knowledge. We have many leading
examples of student led Action and Service
actibities that include Couleurs de Chine,
GETCH, and Huilin School for Disabled Children.
